(1) Capacity experiments were performed, and it was found that significant amounts of cadmium, mercury and lead were adsorbed by Cattails, while only mercury was adsorbed by hair.
(2) We have used intact pollen grains of cattail (Typha latifolia) as a primary experimental subject.
(3) perturbans populations to drawdown, but the impact of drawdown was greater in stands of emergent cattail than in floating cattail.
(4) The adsorption of cadmium, mercury and lead by Cattails (Typha Plant) and human hair has been investigated to assess their possible use as adsorbents in the treatment of industrial wastewater.
(5) As water levels decline seasonally, mosquito developmental sites in San Joaquin Marsh change from mats of decaying vegetation to cattail root masses.
(6) Collections were made from cattail marshes in the greater Boston area.
(7) The relatively fast uptake of cadmium and lead by Cattail leaves suggests that a continuous process is viable.
(8) A study conducted in a perennial-water cattail wetland in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN, demonstrated that a temporary water-level drawdown, designed to enhance waterfowl habitat quality of perennial-water wetlands, also reduced densities of Coquillettidia perturbans mosquito larvae.
