Phytoremediation of BTEX contaminated soil by Canna×generalis
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2011 Bioaccumulation experiments showed that the canna (Canna×generalis) could accumulate BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes) from root zone and rhizome zone soil and translocate these compounds to the shoot. A comparison among these compounds showed that the sequences for accumulation in the root, rhizome and shoot were strongly related to ...
