Abstract
The study determined the feasibility of the herb parsley (P. crispum Mill.) as a good source of plant purifier of water. Five water samples were each obtained from river, lake and pond sources, and another five samples were contaminated with lead. Parsley (serving as the biosorbent) was soaked in the water samples (as the solvent), where coliform and Pb2+ (aq) are serving as the adsorbent. Findings revealed that parsley is capable of significantly removing fecal and total coliform in the water samples, associating this ability to the anti-bacterial activities of alkaloids, saponins and tannins. The study also found out that parsley has the ability to significantly remove amounts of Pb2+ (aq) in contaminated samples, associating this to the biosorptive activity of flavonoids and coumarins. With this, the study concluded that parsley has shown coliform removal and lead biosorption abilities in water purification, which are seen to be beneficial in future water purification tests.
