TL;DR: Translocations of phenanthrene and pyrene from shoots to roots were undetectable, however, transport of these compounds from roots to shoots usually was the major pathway of shoot accumulation.

TL;DR: Hangzhou section of the Great Canal was heavily polluted byPAHs released from industrial wastewater in the past and now PAHs in sediment may serve as sources of PAHS in surface water.

TL;DR: The results provide insight into the recycling of agricultural residues, and also a new application for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals from contaminated water utilizing biochar from agricultural residue.

TL;DR: Investigation of organic acids on Cd and Cu desorption from natural contaminated soils with permanent contamination by metal smelters and from artificial contaminated soils derived from an artificial amendment of Cd to three representative zonal soils suggested that bioavailabilities of heavy metal can be promoted with selected suitable types and concentrations of organic acid amendment and reasonable field condition.

TL;DR: Adding an indigenous bacterial consortium containing RHDα genes to contaminated soil may be a feasible and environmentally friendly method to clean up PAHs in agricultural soil.
