Marchand, Charlotte (2017). Phytoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons and trace elements contaminated soil, Linnaeus University Dissertation No 279/2017, ISBN: 978-91-88357-63-2. Written in English with a summary in Swedish and French. The rapid urbanization and industrialization has led to an increase of disposal petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) and trace elements (TE) into the environment. These...

introduction the lead is considered as one of the most toxic heavy metals in environment organizations of industrial and developing countries. therefore, refining of soil and water contaminated to this element is from most important environmental policies of this countries. lead metal is unnecessary for the body, so that trace amount in the body, indicating contamination with this element. lead...

Rhizosphere bioremediation or rhizodegradation is the enhanced biodegradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants by root-associated bacteria and fungi under the influence of selected plant species. Use of selected vegetation and sound plant management practices, increase the total proportion of pollutant degraders in numbers and activity in the rhizosphere, leading to enhanced rhizodegradation ...

Phytoremediation is an emerging technology for remediating brownfields, landfills, and other contaminated sites. Many laboratory and field tests have demonstrated that trees and other vegetation can absorb, transform, or contain a variety of contaminants, including soft and heavy metals and volatile organics through hydraulic control, absorption, and mycorrhizal activity in the root zone. But p...
