Optical methods for control of heavy metals impact on aquatic plants

In this work the results of research of heavy metals impact on aquatic plants with Raman spectroscopy are shown. The peculiarity of Raman spectrum under the influence of heavy metals has been experimentally established. Optical coefficient, determining heavy metals impact on aquatic plants was introduced. It was defined as correlation of Raman intensity values on wave numbers 1547 cm-1, 1522cm-1 to intensity band value at 1600 cm-1. Microscopic analysis of aquatic plants under the influence of heavy metals has been conducted.
