Plants can interact with a variety of organic compounds, and thereby affect the fate and
transport of many environmental contaminants. Volatile organic compounds may be …

Phytoremediation is the use of plants to remedy contaminated soils, sediments, and/or
groundwater. Sorption and uptake are governed by physicochemical properties of the …

The use of plants (directly or indirectly) to remediate contaminated soil or water is known as
phytoremediation. This technology has emerged as a more cost effective, noninvasive, and …

The transpiration stream concentration factor (TSCF), the ratio between a compound's
concentration in the xylem to that in the solution adjacent to the roots, is commonly used to …

The uptake of organic contaminants by root vegetables involves diffusion, transport by xylem
and phloem saps, degradation, and volatilization. To understand the role of uptake and …

The aim of this work is to review the current knowledge on the effects of plant metabolism
(C3, C4, and CAM) on root exudation and on the methods of exudate collection as well as …

Phytoremediation is a quite novel technique to clean polluted soils using plants. In theory,
phytoremediation methods are cheap, are accepted by the public and, compared to physical …

Plant metabolism of organic compounds is a vital phytoremediation process for sustainable
waste management. Metabolism appears to follow detoxification or elimination metabolic …

Assessing the phytoremediation potential of wetlands is complex due to variable conditions
of hydrology, soil/sediment types, plant species diversity, growing season, and water …
