Introduction:This study was conducted to evaluate potential of Chenopodium album for remediation ofstable cesium from solutions. Cesium accumulation and tolerance in Chenopodium albumplants were also investigated.Material and Methods:Using phytoremediation method, hydroponically grown plants were exposed to cesiumsolutions (0.4-4 mgl-1).Result and Discussion:Cesium accumulation was 201.83 ± 2.15 to 1032.86 ± 12.21 mg kg-1 after 14d. The resultsindicated that maximum cesium remediation was 68.08 ± 2.12% that occurred in minimumcesium concentration. Plants trans-located cesium in both roots and shoots that indicatedChenopodium album could be used as a potential candidate plant for phytoremediation ofcesium.
