ABSTRACT
Vegetation can be used as bioindicators of site pollution by identifying the mobilization of heavy metals. This study was conducted to screen plants growing in a landfill site to determine their potential for metal accumulation. Plants selected were the Tanacetum vulgare and Lycopersicon esculentum. Based on results, it may be concluded that Tanacetum vulgare can tolerate and sequester Cd from the soil. None of the plants were identified as metal hyper accumulators. However, Tanacetum vulgare was most effective in taking up metals and showed a higher enrichment coefficient of heavy metals, indicating its higher accumulation ability.
