Organic pollutants cause many environmental problems to our environment because of their
toxicity, non-degradation and ability to long-range transport. The most common organic …

Abstract Changes in crude oil production and distribution have increased the incidence of oil
spills throughout the world. Oil spills often cause destructive effects on aquatic and land …

Rhizoremediation is increasingly becoming a green and sustainable alternative to physico-
chemical methods for remediation of contaminated environments through the utilization of …

The aim of this research was to select plant species that could be effective in the
phytoremediation of a former oil-sludge pit. Seven crop plants (Triticum aestivum L., Secale …

A four-year pot trial was set up to determine, as precisely as possible, the influence of
increased levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) upon soil and plants grown. In eight …

To determine the influence of nutrients on the rate of biodegradation, a five-level, three-
factor central composite design (CCD) was employed for bioremediation of seawater …

Thirteen-year monitoring of the vegetation growing in the industrial and adjacent areas of an
oil refinery showed the prevalence of yellow medick (Medicago falcata L.) over other plant …

Serious contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) occurs at outdoor
shooting ranges due to the accumulation of clay target fragments containing coal tar or …

The degradation of total oil and grease (TOG) in crude oil-contaminated soil in the presence
of Cyperus brevifolius (Rottb.) Hassk was investigated in a net house study. C. brevifolius …

Phytoremediation is commonly used in the remediation of soils co-contaminated by heavy
metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) because of its economy and …
