T. angustifolia was able to remove 100% of target micropollutants after 21 days of incubation 21.5 C with more than 90% removed after 7 days. T. angustifolia was more effective the P. australis (Trimethoprim (TRM), metoprolol (MET), benzotriazole (BTA), carbamazepine (CBZ), caffeine (CAF), propranolol (PRO), sulfamethoxazole (SMZ), furosemide (FRS), mecoprop (MCPP), and diclofenac (DFC))

There has also been some initial success using Typha angustifolia in constructed wetlands to remove pharmaceuticals and personal care products from urban wastewater. Given the variety of pollutants that T. angustifolia can absorb, it has the potential to be used in complex phytoremediation and constructed wetlands.
