Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoextraction of heavy metals by canola (Brassica napus) and radish (Raphanus sativus) grown on multicontaminated soil.
TL;DR: Data indicated that both species are moderately tolerant to heavy metals and that radish is more so than canola and could possibly be used with success in marginally polluted soils where their growth would not be impaired and the extraction of heavy metals could be maintained at satisfying levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioavailability and effects of heavy metals on soil microbial biomass survival during laboratory incubation
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of Pb, Zn, and Tl on microbial biomass survival and activity during a laboratory incubation of soil was studied, and it was shown that the microbial biomass C decreased sharply in soil contaminated with Zn and Tls, whereas the addition of PB did not have any significant inhibitory effect on the level of microbial biomassC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of trace metals by Sorghum bicolor and Helianthus annuus in a site polluted by industrial wastes: a field experience.
TL;DR: The evaluation of the potential of phytoremediation of the authors' plants compared to other crops in terms of metal removal was positive, and fertilization and soil amendment did not heighten the concentration of metals in the harvestable tissue of the plants during the crop cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reclamation of polluted soil: phytoremediation potential of crop-related brassica species
TL;DR: In this article, a study on the behavior of Brassica napus, Brassica juncea, Raphanus sativus and Brassica carinata grown on a substrate contaminated by several heavy metals caused by the use of contaminated irrigation water is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The application of phytoremediation technology in a soil contaminated by pyrite cinders
TL;DR: In this article, a research project dealing with the phytoremediation of a soil polluted by pyrite cinders is currently running, and two experiments in controlled conditions were carried out.
