Challenges in microbially and chelate-assisted phytoextraction of cadmium and lead – A review
(2021)Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are ubiquitously present in surface soils, due to anthropogenic activities, causing threat to ecological and human health because of their carcinogenic nature. They accumulate in large quantities ... -
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 ... -
Green remediation of toxic metals contaminated mining soil using bacterial consortium and Brassica juncea
(2021)Microorganism-assisted phytoremediation is being developed as an efficient green approach for management of toxic metals contaminated soils and mitigating the potential human health risk. The capability of plant growth ... -
Hexavalent chromium availability and phytoremediation potential of Cichorium spinosum as affect by manure, zeolite and soil ageing
(2017)Cichorium spinosum (spiny chicory) is a wild edible vegetable, and a possible suitable species for Cr(VI)-phytoremediation. There are three approaches for altering Cr(VI) dynamics: reduction to Cr(III) by organic matter ... -
Human health risk via soil ingestion of potentially toxic elements and remediation potential of native plants near an abandoned mine spoil in Ghana
(2021)Integrated studies about potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in sites near gold mining spoils, their contamination and human health risk, as well as remediation potential of native plants are limited. Therefore, our aim was ... -
Phytoremediation potential of twelve wild plant species for toxic elements in a contaminated soil
(2021)Green remediation of soils highly contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be achieved using suitable plants. Such phytoremediation procedure often takes into consideration PTE concentrations in plants only, ... -
Soil dynamics of Cr(VI) and responses of Portulaca oleracea L. grown in a Cr(VI)-spiked soil under different nitrogen fertilization regimes
(2022)The reduction potential of the highly toxic Cr(VI) to the inert Cr(III) in an alkaline soil was studied during a 50-day experiment with Portulaca oleracea L. grown in pots. We aimed at assessing whether our test species ... -
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 ... -
Trace elements in the soil-plant interface: Phytoavailability, translocation, and phytoremediation–A review
(2017)Trace elements (TEs) are deposited to soils mainly due to anthropogenic activities and pose a significant threat to human health. In this review we aimed at (a) discussing the phytoavailability of TEs as affected by various ... -
Varying concentrations of soil chromium (VI) for the exploration of tolerance thresholds and phytoremediation potential of the oregano (Origanum vulgare)
(2019)Varying concentrations of soil Cr(VI) were used in order to explore the tolerance thresholds and phytoremediation potential of Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare), in a pot experiment conducted outdoors. Oregano exhibited a ... -
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 ...
