Journal ArticleDOI
Remediation approaches for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated soils: Technological constraints, emerging trends and future directions.
Saranya Kuppusamy,Saranya Kuppusamy,Saranya Kuppusamy,Palanisami Thavamani,Palanisami Thavamani,Kadiyala Venkateswarlu,Yong Bok Lee,Ravi Naidu,Ravi Naidu,Ravi Naidu,Mallavarapu Megharaj,Mallavarapu Megharaj,Mallavarapu Megharaj +12 more
TL;DR: The authors propose the development of novel multifunctional green and sustainable systems like mixed cell culture system, biosurfactant flushing, transgenic approaches and nanoremediation in order to overcome the existing soil- contaminant- and microbial-associated technological limitations in tackling high molecular weight PAHs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agronomic and remedial benefits and risks of applying biochar to soil: Current knowledge and future research directions
Saranya Kuppusamy,Palanisami Thavamani,Mallavarapu Megharaj,Kadiyala Venkateswarlu,Ravi Naidu +4 more
TL;DR: A balanced overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the pyrolysis process of biochar production, end-product quality and the benefits versus drawbacks ofBiochar on soil geochemistry and albedo, microflora and fauna and nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond the obvious: Environmental health implications of polar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
O.M.O. Idowu,Kirk T. Semple,Kavitha Ramadass,Wayne A. O'Connor,Phil M. Hansbro,Palanisami Thavamani +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that polar PAHs could have serious toxicological effects on human health and should be considered during risk assessment of PAH-contaminated sites and critical knowledge gaps and future research requirements are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial activity and diversity in long-term mixed contaminated soils with respect to polyaromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals
Palanisami Thavamani,Seidu Malik,Seidu Malik,Michael Beer,Michael Beer,Mallavarapu Megharaj,Mallavarapu Megharaj,Ravi Naidu,Ravi Naidu +8 more
TL;DR: The multivariate analysis revealed that there is an association between PAHs and heavy metals which influenced biological properties in mixed contaminated soils which has major implications for the bioremediation of organic pollutants in metal-organic mixed contaminated sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyrosequencing analysis of bacterial diversity in soils contaminated long-term with PAHs and heavy metals: Implications to bioremediation.
Saranya Kuppusamy,Saranya Kuppusamy,Saranya Kuppusamy,Palanisami Thavamani,Mallavarapu Megharaj,Kadiyala Venkateswarlu,Yong Bok Lee,Ravi Naidu +7 more
TL;DR: The most promising indigenous Gram +/-ve strains from the long-term contaminated sites with increased catabolic potential, enzymatic activity and metal tolerance need to be harnessed for mixed contaminant cleanups.
