Airborne particle accumulation and loss in pollution-tolerant lichens and its magnetic quantification
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Pollution-tolerant lichens are recognized ecological indicators of air pollution in cities, which can also collect airborne anthropogenic particles in their tissues. Harmful (sub)micron-sized magnetites are a ubiquitous ...
Phytoplankton from urban and suburban polluted rivers
(E Schweizerbartsche Verlags, 2014-07)
The rivers and streams of the suburban area of Buenos Aires City are strongly affected by punctual discharges of industrial and domestic waste-waters as well as by diffuse pollution due to agricultural activities. Water ...
Boron phytoremediation: Stizolobium aterrimum is tolerant and can be used for phytomanagement of boron excess in soils
(2018-01-01)
Soil contamination by toxic elements causes concern and is increasing through industrial development, mining activities and the overuse of chemical fertilisers. Some toxic elements, such as boron, also play a structural ...
Pb tolerance and accumulation capabilities of Bidens pilosa L. growing in polluted soils depend on the history of exposure
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-10-28)
Phytoremediation, especially phytoextraction, is a good alternative for remediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals. This method requires selection of species for their tolerance, high accumulation levels in ...
Toxicity of natural mixtures of organic pollutants in temperate and polar marine phytoplankton
(ELSEVIER, 2016)
Semivolatile and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) undergo atmospheric transport before being deposited to the oceans, where they partition to phytoplankton organic matter. The goal of this study was to determine the ...
Assessment of tolerance and efficiency of crop species in the phytoremediation of DDT polluted soils
(Elsevier Science, 2014-07)
Soil contamination by organic compounds is of great concern worldwide since it could act as a major environmental repository. The success of phytoremediation is conditioned by two main factors: the availability and toxicity ...
Assessment of the Removal Capacity, Tolerance, and Anatomical Adaptation of Different Plant Species to Benzene Contamination
(Springer, 2014-08-01)
The medium most directly affected by anthropic contamination is soil and, hence, groundwater (saturated and unsaturated zones). In the phytoremediation process, the direct absorption of soil contaminants through the roots ...
Tolerance to metals in two species of fabaceae grown in riverbank sediments polluted with chromium, copper, and lead
(Springer, 2018)
Matanza-Riachuelo river is the most polluted river in Argentina and one of the most pollute drivers in the world. Among the pollutants in the riverbank sediments, metals can be found in toxic concentrations to biota. During ...
