A comparison of technologies for remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current status of technology deployment and recommendations for future remediation research is presented. And the authors also elucidate and compare the available technologies that are currently being applied for remediation of heavy metal(loid) contaminated soils, as well as the economic aspect of soil remediation for different techniques.
Book ChapterDOI

Lead Uptake, Toxicity, and Detoxification in Plants

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to describe how plants take lead up and to link such uptake to the ecotoxicity of lead in plants, and to address the mechanisms by which plants or plant systems detoxify lead.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromium speciation, bioavailability, uptake, toxicity and detoxification in soil-plant system: A review.

TL;DR: There is a dire need to monitor biogeochemical behavior of Cr in soil-plant system, as Chromium induces phytotoxicity by interfering plant growth, nutrient uptake and photosynthesis, inducing enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species, causing lipid peroxidation and altering the antioxidant activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Foliar heavy metal uptake, toxicity and detoxification in plants: A comparison of foliar and root metal uptake.

TL;DR: This is the first review regarding biogeochemical behaviour of heavy metals in atmosphere-plant system and summarizes the mechanisms involved in foliar heavy metal uptake, transfer, compartmentation, toxicity and in plant detoxification.
