EDTA-Enhanced Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals: A Review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the recent findings (2010-2012) and mechanisms behind EDTA-enhanced (1) solubilization of heavy metals in soil, (2) mobilization/transport of soluble metals towards plant root zone, and (3) metal absorption by plant roots and translocation towar
Journal ArticleDOI

Green manure plants for remediation of soils polluted by metals and metalloids: ecotoxicity and human bioavailability assessment.

TL;DR: Borage, white mustard and phacelia, green manure plants currently used in agriculture to improve soil properties were cultivated for 10 wk on various polluted soils with metal(loid) concentrations representative of urban brownfields or polluted kitchen gardens to assess plant efficiency and metal( loid) bioavailability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing ecotoxicity and uptake of metals and metalloids in relation to two different earthworm species (Eiseina hortensis and Lumbricus terrestris).

TL;DR: The combination of behavioural factors measurements (cast production and biomass) and physico-chemical parameters such as metal absorption, bioaccumulation by earthworms and their localization in invertebrate tissues provided a valuable indication of pollutant bioavailability and ecotoxicity.

Potentials of Miscanthus×giganteus grown on highly contaminated Technosols

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth of Miscanthus giganteus (high lignocellulosic biomass used as biofuel) on highly contaminated mining media was evaluated. And the major conclusions of the study were (i) the capacity of the plant to grow on very contaminated soils, and (ii) its short-term use as soils phytostabilizer by cropping the plant without any inputs.
