Plants species can assimilate several pollutants and nutrients (nitrate, ammonium and phosphorus), metals, metalloids, petrochemical compounds (fuels, solvents), pesticides and soluble radionuclide.

Aquatic plant species, including free-floating species such as Eichhornia sp., Lemna sp., Azolla sp. and Salvinia sp., submerged species such as Potamogeton sp. and Myriophyllum sp., and emergent species like Limnocharis flava, Typha sp., Scirpus sp., Spartina sp., Phragmites sp. and Cyperus sp., have shown potential for removing metals and other pollutants from different types of wastewaters (Zupančič et al. 2009; Akinbile et al. 2012). Calheiros et al. (2007) found that constructed wetlands planted with Typha latifolia for the treatment of industrial wastewater gave good results.
