Abstract: With the analysis of the water, the soil and Typha latifolia′s tissue in the purification pond system and in the control, this paper indicated that Typha latifolia has an excellent ability in tolerance, absorption and assimilating Pb and Zn. The accumulation and distribution are as follows: The order of heavy metals concentration such as Pb and Zn in different parts of T. latifolia from high to low is (1) root, rhizoma, leaf; (2) elder rhizoma, younger one. Similarly the order of Pb amount in the leaf from high to low is elder, mature, tender, At the purification pond system, the highest accumulation in T. latifolia root is Pb, with Zn, Cu, Cd, Ni and Mn in the decending order.
