Stubborn grass

Soil polluted with salon hair effluent was seeded with stubborn grass (Sida acuta) and studied for 90 days to determine the physical, chemical and trace metal status. Soil samples were collected twice a month from pristine soil (PS), un-remediated salon effluent polluted soil (EPS) and salon effluent polluted soil seeded with stubborn grass (SGT) and subjected to physical and chemical analysis using standard procedures. Trace metals were analysed using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer.
