however some of heavy metals such as zn, are essential for plant growth, their elevated concentrations have toxic effects and may inhibit plant growth. in this study, plant tolerance and zn uptake and accumulation potential of some weed plant species from western azerbaijan region were studied in a soil spiked with 0, 1000, 3000 and 6000 mgzn kgsoil-1. seed of heliotrope (heliotropium europaeum...

Phytoremediation is an emerging technology that employs the use of higher plants for the cleanup of contaminated environments. Fundamental and applied research have unequivocally demonstrated that selected plant species possess the genetic potential to remove, degrade, metabolize, or immobilize a wide range of contaminants. Despite this tremendous potential, phytoremediation is yet to become a ...

Phytoremediation is a site remediation strategy, which employs plants to remove non-volatile and immisible soil contents. This sustainable and inexpensive process is emerging as a viable alternative to traditional contaminated land remediation methods. To enhance phytoremediation as a viable strategy, fast growing plants with high metal uptake ability and rapid biomass gain are needed. This pap...

Modern industrialization is progressively degrading soil quality due to heavy metal contamination. Heavy (HM) contamination of agricultural has gained considerable attention its rapidly increasing levels. Nanoparticles (NPs) have unique physicochemical properties that make them effective stress relievers. Material science recently been emphasizing “green” synthesis as a reliable, environmentall...

Abstract The presence of water-immiscible organic liquids—commonly called non-aqueous phase liquids or NAPLs—in soils and groundwater, is a worldwide environmental problem. Typical examples NAPLs include: petroleum products, solvents liquid waste from laboratories industry. molecular components present in soils, rocks groundwater are readily transferred to the vapour aqueous phases. extent whic...
