Unlike organic contaminants, metal (loid) s do not undergo microbial or chemical
degradation and persist for a long time after their introduction. Bioavailability of metal (loid) s …

Phytostabilization involves the establishment of a plant cover on the surface of the
contaminated sites with the aim of reducing the mobility of contaminants within the vadose …

Viticulturists use copper fungicide to combat Downy Mildew. Copper, a non-degradable
heavy metal, can accumulate in soil or leach into water sources. Its accumulation in topsoil …

A pot incubation experiment under natural conditions was designed to investigate the effects
of three biodegradable chelating agents, namely; the [S, S]-isomer of ethylenediamine …

For many years, copper-based fungicides have been used in viticulture and have
contributed to increasing concentrations in soils. Today, it is not uncommon to find vineyard …

Dredged sediment contaminated with heavy metals can be remediated through
phytoremediation. The main challenge in phytoremediation is the limited availability of …

Members of the family Brassicaceae have a special ability to absorb such large amounts of
metals as are often beyond the tolerance range of other plants. Among the oilseed …

Oilseed crops are grown worldwide and considered as one of the most important crops due
to their economic importance. These crops mainly include rapeseed, mustard, sesame …

Adding chelating agents is a critical technique of heavy metal activation for enhancing
phytoextraction through the formation of soluble metal complexes which will be more readily …

Soil flushing is one of the common in-situ remediation technologies, in which the
permeability of the soil determines its feasibility. Batch extractions showed that deionized …
