Soil decontamination: bioremediation and phytoremediation

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia de Biossistemas, 2023
Practically all agro-industrial activities and the maintenance of cities have the potential to pollute and contaminate the environment. Thus, measures to mitigate the impacts of these activities must be evaluated, including bioremediation. In this sense,

Pathogen Decontamination of Food Crop Soil: A Review.

Journal of Food Protection, 2017
The purpose of this review is to delineate means of decontaminating soil. This information might be used to mitigate soil-associated risks of foodborne pathogens. The majority of the research in the published literature involves inactivation of plant pathogens in soil, i.e., those pathogens harmful to fruit and vegetable production and ornamental ...
