Abstract
The impact of sewage water from a pulp and paper mill on the anatomical and biochemical parameters of submerged and semisubmerged plants has been assessed. The pro-oxidant and antioxidant plant responses and changes in their anatomical parameters in relation to industrial pollution are detected. Submerged plants are more subjected to a negative impact of sewages than semisubmerged plants.
