Phytovolatilization of Volatile Contaminants
Plant systems can be effective pump-and-treat systems for some contaminants. There is interest in finding inexpensive remediation technologies for sites contaminated by carbon tetrachloride and ethylene dibromide from grain fumigation activities. Experimental investigations have shown that volatile compounds such as trichloroethylene and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) are released to the at...
متن کامل#633 - Carcinogens Everywhere
For each of the 148 toxicants, EPA established a "benchmark" level that the agency considers safe. Eight of the 148 industrial poisons exceed EPA's benchmark safety levels all of the time in all 60,803 census tracts. All eight are carcinogens, that is, they are known to cause cancer: bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate; benzene; carbon tetrachloride; chloroform; ethylene dibromide; ethylene dichloride;...
متن کاملPotential hazards of fumigant residues.
A spectrum of fumigants (primarily ethylene dibromide, 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane, ethylene oxide, symdibromotetetrachloroethane, 1,3-dichloropropene, dichlorovos, carbon tetrachloride, methyl bromide) as well as their degradation products in foodstuffs and soil have been examined mainly in regard to the potential mutagenicity of their residues.
متن کاملDegradation of low molecular weight volatile organic compounds by plants genetically modified with mammalian cytochrome P450 2E1.
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is a key enzyme in the mammalian metabolism of several low molecular weight volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as trichloroethylene (TCE), vinyl chloride (VC), carbon tetrachloride (CT), benzene, chloroform, and bromodichloromethane (BDCM), which are all common environmental pollutants that pose risks to human health. We have developed a transgenic tobacco (Nic...
متن کاملSprinkler Irrigation: a Voc Remediation Alternative
A sprinkler irrigation system was tested to assess its efficacy for volatilizing organic chemicals in pumped groundwater. In field tests involving the analysis of more than 250 samples collected from beneath a spray irrigation system, removal rates of ethylene dibromide (EDB), 1,1,2-trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), and carbon tetrachloride (CT) in samplers placed 0.5 m abov...
