Journal ArticleDOI
E-waste: An assessment of global production and environmental impacts
TL;DR: Miniaturisation and the development of more efficient cloud computing networks, where computing services are delivered over the internet from remote locations, may offset the increase in E-waste production from global economic growth and theDevelopment of pervasive new technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of biochars’ potential role in the remediation, revegetation and restoration of contaminated soils
Luke Beesley,Eduardo Moreno-Jiménez,Jose L. Gomez-Eyles,Eva Harris,Brett Robinson,Tom Sizmur +5 more
TL;DR: Specific mechanisms of contaminant-biochar retention and release over time and the environmental impact of biochar amendments on soil organisms remain somewhat unclear but must be investigated to ensure that the management of environmental pollution coincides with ecological sustainability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical assessment of chelant-enhanced metal phytoextraction.
TL;DR: Chelant-enhanced phytoextraction may nonetheless have a role in enhancing the uptake of essential trace metals, and warrants further investigations into the use of biodegradable chelants such as ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid (EDDS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural and induced cadmium-accumulation in poplar and willow: Implications for phytoremediation
TL;DR: For example, Poplar (Kawa and Argyle) and willow (Tangoio) clones were grown in soils containing a range (0.6-60.6 μg g−1 dry soil) of Cd concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential of Thlaspi caerulescens for phytoremediation of contaminated soils
Brett Robinson,Brett Robinson,Marc Leblanc,Daniel Petit,Robert R. Brooks,J. H. Kirkman,Paul E.H. Gregg +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of Thlaspi caerulescens was studied by pot trials in plant growth units and in populations of wild plants growing over Pb/Zn base-metal mine wastes at Les Malines in the south of France.
