Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to the occurrence and behaviour of PHEs in the different compartments of the environment, with special reference to soil. Current studies of PHEs in ecosystems have indicated that many industrial areas near urban agglomerates, abandoned or active mines, major road systems and ultimately also agricultural land act as sources and at the same time sinks, of PHEs and large amounts of metals are recycled or dispersed in the environment, posing severe concerns to human health. Thanks to the collaboration of numerous colleagues, the book outlines the state of art in PHEs research in several countries and is enforced with case studies and enriched with new data, not published elsewhere. The book will provide to Stakeholders (both Scientists Professionals and Public Administrators) and also to non-specialists a lot of data on the concentrations of metals in soils and the environment and the critical levels so far established, in the perspective to improve the environmental quality and the human safety.

Download or read book Phytoextraction of Lead from Contaminated Soil by Panicum Virgatum L. (switchgrass) and Associated Growth Responses written by Anne Maureen Gleeson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing interest in biomass crops for energy production has focused attention on Panicum virgatum L. (switchgrass) as a promising perennial feedstock native to much of North America. Switchgrass may be processed into products such as pulp and paper, ethanol, and fuel pellets. A robust C4 grass, switchgrass typically produces 10-12 dry tonnes/ha on agricultural soils in average growing conditions; this study shows that reduced but substantive yields are also possible on soils rendered unsuitable for food crop production by lead contamination over the acceptable level of 70 ppm. Switchgrass offers not only tolerance to lead in the soil environment, but also the potential for extraction of lead contaminants. Integrating the growth of switchgrass for biomass with phytoremediation could provide greater opportunity for biomass production, while eventually increasing the suitability of such lands for agricultural production. This study examines the potential for using switchgrass to remove lead from the soil and to translocate the contaminant to the leafy portions of the plant, where it could be removed from the site through biomass harvest. Roots of plants treated with 6000 and 10000 ppm lead solution from the time of seeding displayed some morphological changes and growth inhibition, yet, produced biomass comparable to expected yields and removed up to 0.1% of the applied lead solution. Established switchgrass displayed few morphological changes and no significant loss of biomass when treated with lead acetate solution while extracting lead into harvestable tissues. As the primary root is the organ through which water, solutes and heavy metals pass into the plant, the dense, fibrous root system of switchgrass may aid in the ability of this plant to extract contaminants from soil without significantly hindering above ground biomass production. Switchgrass grown on brownfield soil, with contamination levels of up to 23600 ppm translocated lead into harvestable tissues without significant changes in biomass production or growth characteristics. However, symptoms of phytotoxicity were observed in switchgrass grown on soil containing 36100 ppm lead. Atomic absorption spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma analyses indicate that lead accumulation in harvestable tissues of switchgrass occurs at rates comparable to those in previous studies. The presence of dark staining deposits, detected by light microscopy in the root and shoot tissue of switchgrass treated with high concentrations of applied lead (13800, 10000), suggests an adaptive response within the plant. Successful integration of phytoremediation with growth of biomass crops such as switchgrass may provide effective reclamation of contaminated soils, while contributing to a sustainable energy economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phytoremediation is an exciting, new technology that utilizes metal-accumulating plants to rid soil of heavy metal and radionuclides. Hyperaccumulation plants are an appealing and economical alternative to current methods of soil recovery. Phytoremediation of Contaminated Soil and Water is the most thorough literary examination of the subject available today. The successful implementation of phytoremediation depends on identifying plant material that is well adapted to specific toxic sites. Gentle remediation is then applied in situ, or at the contamination site. No soil excavation or transport is necessary. This severely contains the potential risk of the pollutants entering the food chain. And it's cost effective. The progress of modern man has created many sites contaminated with heavy metals. The effected land is toxic to plants and animals , which creates considerable public interest in remediation. But the commonly used remedies are ex situ, which poses an expensive dilemma and an even greater threat. Phytoremediation offers the prospect of a cheaper and healthier way to deal with this problem. Read Phytoremediation of Contaminated Soil and Water to learn just how far this burgeoning technology has developed.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the results of greenhouse studies conducted to determine if phytoextraction methods could be enhanced by increasing ionic lead's solubility in water. Soil acidifiers and chelating agents were used to increase lead's solubility in water. The study was conducted using lead contaminated soil from the Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant near Desoto, Kansas. These soils were shipped to the Tennessee Valley Authority's Environmental Research Facility in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where the study was conducted. The report concludes that phytoextraction methods may be enhanced by these techniques and that the risk of leaching lead out of the soil's root zone is minimal.

This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most common heavy metals in the soil environments are Cd, Cu, Pb, and Mn. Metals are natural components in soil. Environmental contamination has resulted from industrial activities such as mining and smelting of metalliferous ores, electroplating, gas exhaust, energy and fuel production, fertilizer and pesticide application, and generation of municipal waste. High levels of metals in soil can be phytotoxic. Poor plant growth and soil cover caused by metal toxicity can lead to metal mobilization in runoff water and subsequent deposition into nearby bodies of water. Uptake of pollutants by plants and entering the food chain can cause different disease for humans and other organisms. There are different methods for refining contaminated soils. One low-cost method for refining contaminated soils is using plants (Phytoremediation) that has lower cost, compatible with nature and require fewer facilities than other methods of refining. Plants are able to influence the availability of heavy metals in the rhizosphere due to root exudates and other mechanisms resulting in a change in their phytoextraction capability.
