Use of Aquatic Vegetation for the Treatment of Mine Acid Waters in the Mine Brad

Polluted mine waters contain chemical substances, heavy metal ions, solid suspensions, a very low pH, and are discharged into the hydrographic network, often above cross-border levels. Regardless of the aggregation state, the residues of the mining industry affect all components of the environment: soil, water and air. The emphasis in the past on achieving high production levels and neglecting environmental impacts has in the meantime led to the accumulation of serious environmental damage. As a result of the cross-border effect of pollution, environmental problems have overtaken local character, being pursued by local, regional and global stakeholders. The paper aims to find solutions to the use of aquatic vegetation for the treatment of mine acid waters.
