In this manuscript we investigated the ability of stem, leaf and whole plant species Polygonum amphibium L. to absorb and accumulate some elements (Fe, Pb, Cd, Cu, Mn, Hg, As). Concentrations of the investigated elements in the sediment and plant material were higher than their concentrations in water, while the content of the studied elements in plant material was lower than their content in the sediment. The results exhibited higher concentrations of Hg and As in the water and the sediment than the maximum allowable concentrations in accordance with the Regulations of the Republic of Serbia. Also, results have shown that the tissue of the stem and leaf of P. amphibium has the potential to bioaccumulate Fe, Cu, Mn, Hg and hyperaccumulation of As from water. Further research should focus on the use of P. amphibium in phytoremediation (using biofiltration) of the tested elements from aqueous environments.
