A Monviso clone has been applied to promote PCB degradation in a soil historically contaminated by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals (HMs). The multi-contaminated area is located Southern Italy. PCBs, HMs, the microbial community (abundance, viability, structure) were analysed selected plots of poplar-treated area. At 900 days after poplar planting, chemical analyses showed that...

The Batanghari River is the fourth longest river in Indonesia, and along course of river, there are many community activities, such as fishing, coal-carrying, industrial activities. These various activities can cause contamination heavy metals lead (Pb) copper (Cu). This pollution be overcome by using phytoremediation techniques Avicennia alba Blume, which grows East Coast Mangrove Forest Reser...

The aim of the present work was to evaluate influence two different pharmaceutical compounds (bezafibrate and paroxetine) on phytoremediation potential Phragmites australis in an estuarine medium contaminated by copper. Plants were exposed for seven days a simplified medium, elutriate solution, with or without sediment. doped copper bezafibrate paroxetine. P. plants able accumulate significant ...

A high content of heavy metals in the soil and plants a magnesite mining area might cause serious damage to environment can be threat health surrounding population. This paper presents results research that focused on analyzing metal dumping grounds factory Jelšava-Lubeník (Slovakia). The analysis (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrometry), (inductively coupled plasma mas...

Phytoattenuation combines phytoextraction or phytostabilization with the economic valorization of biomass produced on contaminated soil. Sorghum bicolor is a suitable crop for this strategy, as it known to be metal-tolerant and can used biogas bioethanol production in strategies toward biofortification. In current investigation, two cultivars, Biomass 133 Trudan Headless (HL), were studied meta...

Pb pollution caused by shooting sport activities is a serious environmental problem that has increased considerably in recent decades. The aims of this study were firstly to analyze Pb pollution in soils from a trap shooting range abandoned in 1999, secondly to study the effectiveness of different extractants [CaCl2, DTPA, NH4OAc, low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOA), and bidistilled wate...

The potential of 6 tree species (Leucaena leucocephala, Acacia mangium, Peltophorum pterocarpum, Pterocarpus macrocarpus, Lagerstroemia floribunda, Eucalyptus camaldulensis) for phytoremediation of Pb in sand tailings (total Pb >9850 mg kg(-1)) from KEMCO Pb mine in Kanchanaburi province, Thailand, were investigated employing a pot experiment (3 months) and field trial experiment (12 months). I...

This study addresses the growing problem of soil salinity. In Mediterranean regions, disused solid waste landfills have given rise to disturbed ecosystems. At such sites, both mobile soil anions and cations have toxic effects on plants. Thus, detailed knowledge of these effects is needed for the phytoremediation of soils facing the problem of salinization. In this study, high chloride levels we...
