Phytoremediation is the use of plants to extract, immobilize, contain and/or degrade
contaminants from soil, water or air. It can be an effective strategy for on site and/or in situ …

The chemical stabilization, or immobilization, of trace elements (metals and metalloids; TE)
in contaminated soil has been studied for decades. A vast number of scientific publications …

Amending contaminated soils with organic wastes can influence trace element mobility and
toxicity. Soluble concentrations of metals and arsenic were measured in pore water and …

Standard practice in reclamation of mine tailings is the emplacement of a 15 to 90 cm
soil/gravel/rock cap which is then hydro-seeded. In this study we investigate compost …

Phytostabilization of mine soils contaminated by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) requires
plants tolerant to PTE toxicity and to the poor soil physico-chemical characteristics of these …

Abstract (Aided) phytostabilisation has been proposed as a suitable technique to decrease
the environmental risks associated with metal (loid)-enriched mine tailings. Field scale …

Emerging micro-pollutants have rapidly contaminated the agro-ecosystem, posing serious
challenges to a sustainable future. The vast majority of them have infiltrated the soil and …

High total and bioavailable concentrations of As in soils represent a potential risk for
groundwater contamination and entry in the food chain. The use of organic amendments in …

Contamination of soils with arsenic (As) represents a global environmental and health issue
considering the entrance of toxic As in the human food chain. Although partially understood …

Trace elements stabilization in contaminated soils is frequently the most convenient option
for the remediation of large areas with moderate to high levels of contaminants. The use of …
