Phytostabilization of Metal Contaminated Soils

Reviews on Environmental Health, 2010
The contamination of soils with heavy metals represents a worldwide environmental problem of great concern. Traditional methods for the remediation of metal contaminated soils are usually very expensive and frequently induce adverse effects on soil properties and biological activity.

Soil amendments for cadmium phytostabilization by five marigold cultivars

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2019
In recent years, ornamental plants have come under investigation as phytoremediation agents. In addition to reducing contaminant concentrations in soil, such plants support local economies by serving social (e.g., religious) and decorative purposes. Greenhouse studies investigated the phytostabilization potential of soil cadmium (Cd) by five cultivars ...

Phytostabilization as Soil Remediation Strategy

2013
Heavy metals are natural components of the terrestrial ecosystem. However, soils could become contaminated by the accumulation of heavy metal mixtures as a result of human activities. One of the most important concerns associated with heavy metals is their persistence and harmful effects to humans and the environment.

Phytoextraction and Phytostabilization: Technical, Economic, and Regulatory Considerations of the Soil-Lead Issue

1999
This chapter explores two emerging remediation technologies based on “agronomic” or “low-tech” solutions. Several approaches have been investigated to overcome the obstacles described above. Some researchers have examined the fundamental soil and plant processes influencing plant uptake of metals and tried to optimize these processes by agronomics, and
