Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMechanism of Garden Aquatic Plants in the Remediation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated SoilChen Chen, Guangwu LiuHeavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury are resistant to microbial degradation in soil and persist for extended periods. They can bioaccumulate through the food chain, ultimately impacting human health. This study demonstrates that a combined restoration approach involving soil enhancement and garden aquatic plants, specifically through the application of ferrous sulfate, results in increased dry weight and plant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 20 Apr 2026 · 1,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCadmium Stress Responses in Medicinal and Oilseed Plants: Safflower as a Promising Candidate for Soil Cadmium RemediationChristos Kikis, Giorgos Thalassinos, Vasileios AntoniadisThis study investigated the growth responses of five economically important plants—chamomile (Matricaria recutita), oregano (Origanum vulgare), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), sage (Salvia officinalis), and wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) exposed to increasing Cd levels. Over 60 days, plants were subjected to Cd concentrations of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mg per pot. Growth parameters and Cd accumulation were then assessed. At the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 13 Nov 2025 · 3,410 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effects of Seasonal Variations on Typha capensis and Heliconia psittacorum in the Remediation of Heavy Metals from Soil and WaterWiafe Samuel, Buamah Richard, Owusu MichaelDifferent plant species have been used in the remediation of different heavy metals. The performance of a macrophyte to remediate heavy metals may be dependent on a lot of factors which may include water chemistry, metal solubilityand temperature. The objective of this research was to ascertain the effects of seasonal variations on the remediation of heavy metals. To this end,two … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 31 Jan 2019 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVermicompost Incorporation into Soil Contaminated with Deltamethrin as an Attempt to Reduce the Toxicity Caused by this Pyrethroid: A Structural Study of SoilFernanda Benetti, Lívia B.F. Pigatin, Michelle M. Kanashiro et al.The use of vermicompost for remediating soil contaminated with the commercial formulation containing deltamethrin was proposed. Biotoxicity tests with the goal of evaluating the potential remediation degree of the vermicompost after its addition to contaminated soils were performed. The tests lasted 56 days and involved Eisenia foetida earthworms. Possible structural changes in humic acids from these soils were evaluated by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 16 Aug 2017 · 7,165 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLab Tests for the Remediation of a PCE Polluted Site by Means of HRC ReactantMaria Chiara Zanetti, Silvia FioreThe injection of reactants is a remediation technology that may be applied both in the vadose zone and in groundwater. In this work a new reagent is examined for the remediation of the vadose zone and groundwater of an industrial site polluted by perchloroethylene (PCE). The tested reactant is the HRC (Hydrogen Release Compound, Regenesis, USA), a reducing agent which … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Modeling and Heat-Moisture Transfer Characteristic Analysis of in Situ Thermal Desorption System for Polluted SoilHuijuan Xu, Yanjun Bi, Lijun Gao, Dongxiao MaIn Situ Gas Thermal Desorption (ISGTD) is one of the effective approaches for organic contaminated soil. To investigate the heat-moisture transfer characteristics of soil during the heating process, a radially layered coupled heat-moisture model of the ISGTD system is established. The temperature and moisture distribution along the radial direction of the heat source, as well as the synergistic action of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2024 · 4,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPoly-Species Phytocenoses for Ecosystem Restoration of Degraded Soil CoversAlmabek B. Nugmanov, Sergey V. Mamikhin, Khusain Kh. Valiev et al.Agroecological studies are based on the concept that, by understanding ecological processes, it is possible to manage agroecosystems for more sustainable production of more biomass and, thus, protection of natural resources. Many studies in the field of agroecology show that some farming methods can improve soil quality and restore agroecosystems by increasing plant biodiversity. Functional characteristics of plants for the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 22 Jul 2022 · 5,713 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Distribution and Evaluation of Heavy Metal Pollution in Soil Based on Three-Dimensional Model and Kriging InterpolationBaoshun Liu, Yonghong Zhang, Jun Yao, Jian SuSoil heavy metal pollution is an important content for soil environmental governance. Based on the three-Dimensional (3D) geological modeling technology and ordinary Kriging method, this study described and analyzed the soil pollution status and spatial distribution characteristics of a site in Zhongshan, Guangxi. The results showed that combining 3D geological model and the Kriging interpolation method can well evaluate soil … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 10 Jun 2022 · 6,144 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPollution Risk Analysis of Heavy Metals at Illegal Mining Sites at Atiwa East District, GhanaSamuel Wiafe, Sarah Fanny Hackman Duncan, Boakye Ebenezer, Samuel Yeboah BaakoThis study aims at determining the level of pollution of heavy metals (Cr, Cu and Hg) in the soils of illegal mining sites in Atiwa East District of Ghana. The concentrations of Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr), and Mercury (Hg) in the soils were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). The extent of heavy metal pollution and pollution risk assessment was … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 2 Jun 2022 · 10,692 accessesView PDFCite
