Abstract
⺠Effect of water hardness on U toxicity and accumulation in a freshwater macrophyte was studied. ⺠A 20-fold increase in water hardness resulted in a 4-fold decrease in U toxicity and accumulation. ⺠Ca provided a 4-fold greater protective effect against U toxicity and accumulation than Mg. ⺠Negligible differences in the percentages of key U species with increased water hardness ⺠Mechanisms of competition and/or electrostatic effects at the cell surface are proposed.
