Assessment of heavy metal(loid)s contamination risk and grain nutritional quality in organic waste-amended soil
(2020)Studies that evaluate the human health risk of heavy metal(loid)s pollution have not been widely performed for organic waste-amended soils on the Loess Plateau of China. With this respect, we conducted a 3-year field trial ... -
Determination of heavy metals in the territory of contaminated areas of Greece and their restoration through hyperaccumulators
(2021)Phytoremediation is an effective technique for the processing of contaminated soil and for sequestering environmental contaminants such as heavy metals. This kind of pollution is ubiquitous in mines and similar excavation ... -
Effects of sheep bone biochar on soil quality, maize growth, and fractionation and phytoavailability of Cd and Zn in a mining-contaminated soil
(2021)Biochar prepared from various feedstock materials has been utilized in recent years as a potential stabilizing agent for heavy metals in smelter-contaminated soils. However, the effectiveness of animal bone-derived biochar ... -
Modulation of hexavalent chromium toxicity on οriganum vulgare in an acidic soil amended with peat, lime, and zeolite
(2018)Dynamics of chromate (Cr(VI)) in contaminated soils may be modulated by decreasing its phytoavailability via the addition of organic matter-rich amendments, which might accelerate Cr(VI) reduction to inert chromite (Cr(III)) ... -
Streptomyces pactum addition to contaminated mining soils improved soil quality and enhanced metals phytoextraction by wheat in a green remediation trial
(2021)Streptomyces pactum (Act12), an agent of a gentle in situ remediation approach, has been recently used in few works in phytoextraction trials; however, the impact of Act12 on soil quality and metal phytoavailability has ... -
Without exceeding the limits: industrial soil rich in Zn and Cd has no effect on purslane and lettuce but promotes geranium growth
(2016)The aims of the study were (a) the assessment of growth and physiological response of a weed/alternative crop (purslane), an ornamental plant (geranium) and an edible vegetable (lettuce) to Zn- and Cd-contaminated industrial ...
