Seasonal fluctuations of Zn, Pb, As and Cd contents in the biomass of selected grass species growing on contaminated soils: Implications for in situ phytostabilization

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Phytostabilization aims to immobilize contaminants at the rhizosphere level using the root system of adapted plants. In order to exploit wild grasses with potential for phytostabilization, a screening throughout the year was conducted at a site ...

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.

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

Findings on the Phytoextraction and Phytostabilization of Soils Contaminated with Heavy Metals

Biological Trace Element Research, 2009
As a result of human activities such as mining, metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems today. Phytoremediation, an emerging cost-effective, non-intrusive, and aesthetically pleasing technology that uses the remarkable ability of plants to concentrate elements can be potentially used to remediate metal-contaminated ...

Acanthus ilicifolius L. a promising candidate for phytostabilization of zinc

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2017
The potential of a halophyte species-Acanthus ilicifolius L.-to phytostabilize zinc (Zn) grown under hydroponics culture conditions was critically evaluated in this study. The propagules after treating with ZnSO4 (4 mM) were analysed for the bioaccumulation pattern, translocation rate of Zn to the shoot, effects of Zn accumulation on organic solutes ...

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 ...

Trace metal accumulation by Ranunculus sceleratus: implications for phytostabilization

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2017
This study investigated the growth response of Ranunculus sceleratus to pollution and its capacity to accumulate trace metals for its use as a phytoremediator in Lake Maruit, Egypt. Three basins (main basin, fish farm, and southwestern basin) representing the natural distribution of the plant as well as the pollution loads in the lake, were chosen for ...

Phytostabilization of arsenic

2018
Arsenic (As) appears in the environment as various As species, which may vary in plant uptake and toxicity. Moreover, As exposure may vary between habitat due to availability and speciation, both of which are influenced by redox potential. To decrease As uptake, addition of silicate may be a tool.The aim of the study was to investigate how the external
