Plant roots are known to provide mechanical reinforcement soils upon shearing and seismic loading. However, the effects of different stress paths on root remain unclear. Moreover, whether how resistance soil liquefaction cyclic loading have rarely been studied. The objective this study is conduct a series undrained triaxial tests investigate monotonic behaviour rooted sand. Roots vetiver grass ...

Soil lead (Pb) contamination in Pb paint-contaminated homes is a serious health risk urban areas. Phytoextraction green and sustainable technology for soil remediation, but its efficiency depends on the geochemical partitioning of soil. Following successful laboratory, greenhouse, panel experiments, field study was conducted to demonstrate effectiveness chemically catalyzed phytoextraction mode...

Overuse of antibiotics has resulted in widespread contamination the environment and triggered antibiotic resistance pathogenic bacteria. Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are not equipped to remove antibiotics. Effluents from WWTPs usually primary source aquatic environments. There is an urgent need for cost-effective, environment-friendly technologies address this issue. Along w...

Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is known to be survived under the diversesoil and water conditions. In order to study the effects of salinity stress on the seedlinggrowth of the desired species, a completely randomized design was conducted with 3replications. Seeds were sown in the salty-soil plots in the greenhouse. Salinity levels werespecified as 4 control ones including 20, 30 and 40 ...

The treatment of municipal landfill's leachate is considered as one of the most significant environmental issues. In this study a laboratory experiment was conducted through land treatment, achieving an efficient and economical method by using Vetiver plant. Moreover, the effects of land treatment of leachate of municipal landfills on the natural reduction of organic and inorganic contaminants ...

Free radicals induce numerous diseases by lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. It has been reported that some of the extracts from plants possess antioxidant properties capable of scavenging free radicals in vivo. Vetiveria zizanioides belonging to the family Gramineae, is a densely tufted grass which is widely used as a traditional plant for aromatherapy, to relieve stress, anxiety, nervous tens...
