Abstract Iris pseudacorous has been shown to possess a high affinity for absorption of heavy metals. Tests with Cu2+ solutions indicate that a higher amount of adsorbed metal is found in the roots than in the rhizome or leaves. High concentrations of sodium chloride as well as surfactants (both anionic and non ionic) have little affect on metal absorption. Sequestering agents prevent absorption, while weak ligands partially hinder.
