abstract = "The paper presents the results of the treatment of landfill leachate by applying the method of phytoremediation using hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). The leachate was sampled from the Municipal Landfill in Novi Sad, while the common water hyacinth was purchased from the Nursery of flowers and conifers in Ugrinovci. During the research, we monitored the removal efficiency of four heavy metals, i.e., chromium, cadmium, nickel and zinc. Despite the presence and the metabolic processes of Hirudinea, as well as the accelerated degradation of the applied biomass, significant removal of heavy metals from the treated leachate has been achieved. After completion of the experiment, it was concluded that the removal efficiency of chromium is 81%, cadmium 80%, nickel 62% and zinc 80%",
