the continuous addition of industrial, municipal, and agricultural effluents to the environment has led to a great increase of toxic pollutants. it is well known that these pollutants are hazardous to animals, plants, microorganisms, and other living organisms including humans. as a result, effective technologies should be developed to remove these contaminants. biological remediation, as an...

The accumulation of toxic metals and metalloids, such as cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), or arsenic (As), as a consequence of various anthropogenic activities, poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. The ability of plants to take up mineral nutrients from the soil can be exploited to develop phytoremediation technologies able to alleviate the negative impact of toxic elements in...

The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed regulations that outline risk management program guidelines.
