Journal ArticleDOI
Transport of gold nanoparticles through plasmodesmata and precipitation of gold ions in woody poplar.
TL;DR: The accumulation of AuNPs in the plasmodesma of the phloem complex in root cells clearly suggests ease of transport between cells and translocation throughout the whole plant, inferring the potential for entry and transfer in food webs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of the gasoline oxygenate ethanol on aerobic and anaerobic BTX biodegradation
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of ethanol on microbial degradation of representative BTX compounds under electron acceptor conditions commonly found in intrinsic bioremediation projects was investigated. But, little is known about ethanol's effect on biOREmediation of the toxic BTX contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of hybrid poplar trees on microbial populations important to hazardous waste bioremediation
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative abundance of denitrifiers, pseudomonads, and monoaromatic petroleum hydrocarbon (BTX) degraders was found significantly higher (p < 0.1) in soil samples from the rhizosphere of poplar trees than in adjacent agricultural soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative toxicity of nano-scale TiO2, SiO2 and ZnO water suspensions.
TL;DR: The relative toxicity of TiO2, SiO2 and ZnO water suspensions towards bacteria and the eukaryotic Daphnia magna is explored to highlight the need for caution during the use and disposal of such manufactured nanomaterials to prevent unintended environmental impacts.
Book
Bioremediation and Natural Attenuation: Process Fundamentals and Mathematical Models
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic concepts of Ground Water Flow and Contaminant Transport Processes are presented as well as analytical models for Natural Attenuation, and a performance assessment and demonstration of Bioremediation and natural attenuation is presented.
