Abstract: “Arsenic (As) contamination in the environment is a worldwide problem. Many technologies such as oxidation, membrane technology, adsorption, electrokinetics, ion exchange have been used to remove As from contaminated water. However, these technologies are required high costs and skillful labor for control and maintenance. Phytoremediation, using plant to remove pollution, is a cost effective and eco-friendly technology. Nevertheless, this technology still brings about limitations such as high phytotoxicity of As. Application of microorganisms to enhance heavy metal removal by plant might be an effective technology. Some plant species such as Echinodorus cordifolius, Cyparus alternifolium, Acrostichum aureum, Coolocasia esculenta, and Echinodorus cordifolius were screened for As removal efficiency. From our screening plants revealed that E. cordifolius was the highest efficiency species for As removal. Combination between E. cordifolius and microorganisms for As removal was studied. Baci”
