Plant model systems are needed to properly conduct basic laboratory studies prior to field applications of phytoremediation. In vitro plant cultures are a useful tool for such research. This study focuses on the removal ...

Phytoremediation is a technique that uses plants to recover contaminated soils. This method has advantages because of its permanent nature, combined with low maintenance costs, protection against wind and water erosion and ...

The rising presence of endocrine disruptors (EDs) in the environment, especially in aquatic systems, may endanger wildlife and humans. The removal of EDs from water by means of the new and sustainable technology of ...

Glyphosate (Gly) is the most widely used herbicide in the world and has broad-spectrum and non-selective activity. Its indiscriminate use hence risks contamination of water bodies and can affect living organisms, especially ...

Phytoremediation is a low cost technology based on the use of plants to remove a wide range of pollutants from the environment, including the insecticide DDT. However, some pollutants are known to enhance generation of ...

The present work was based on the study and evaluation of an alternative treatment, for the reduction of the pollutant load of the production residual waters, generated in the oil field of Chichemene, in the department of ...
