Lead phytoextraction, using plants to extract Pb from contaminated soils, is an emerging
technology. Calculations of soil Pb mass balance suggest that this technology will be …

summary Lead transport has been characterized in corn (Zea mays L. cv. Fiesta) and
ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.), and the Pb phytoextraction efficiency of these species …

We evaluated the effectiveness of lime and red mud (by-product of aluminium
manufacturing) to reduce metal availability to Festuca rubra and to allow re-vegetation on a …

Metal contamination issues are becoming increasingly common in Australia and elsewhere,
with many documented cases of metal toxicity including in mining and agriculture. Metals …
