Turkey has the largest boron (B) reserves in the world (> 70 %). Therefore, the land and water resources in Turkey contaminated with high concentration of B Pollution due to mining and industrial operations. This study investigates the accumulation of B in aquatic macrophytes soil and water in the both mining and municipal waste water discharges. For this purpose, soil, plant and water samples were collected from the streams at the areas of mining and municipal waste water discharge sites and analyzed for B using ICP-MS. Results show that the Xanthium strumarium, Eupatorium cannabinum, Lythrum salicaria, Tamarix tetrandra, Typha latifolia, and Salix sp. hyperaccumulate B. These hyperaccumulator plants have a great capacity to accumulate and transport B to plant parts from the soil and water. Therefore, these plants can be useful for decontaminating or rehabilitation of soils and waters polluted with B.

土耳其拥有世界上最大的硼（B）储量（> 70％）。因此，由于采矿和工业运营，土耳其的土地和水资源受到高浓度的B污染。本研究调查了采矿和市政废水排放中水生植物土壤和水中B的积累情况。为此，从采矿和市政废水排放区的溪流中收集土壤，植物和水的样品，并使用ICP-MS对B进行分析。结果表明，黄药属，紫茎泽兰，千屈菜，Ta柳，香蒲和柳。sp。这些高积累植物具有从土壤和水中积累和运输B到植物部分的强大能力。因此，这些植物可用于对B污染的土壤和水进行净化或修复。
