“…Studies of Antoniewicz and Jasiewicz [2006] revealed high yielding potential of Jerusalem artichoke on the soil with varied heavy metals contamination, which proves its great resistance and fast adaptation to polluted soils. Own studies were also confirmed by Borkowska [2003] and Xia [2006], who observed more abundant yields of Jerusalem artichoke on subsoil amended with sewage sludge than on mineral soil. It referred both to plant height and yield biomass (Figure 1).…”

The aim of present research was to assess the usefulness of Basket willow (Salix viminalis) to phytoremediation and bioremediation of sorption subsoil contaminated with pesticides. Studies upon purification of sorption material consisting of a soil and composting sewage sludge were conducted under pot experiment conditions. The study design included control pot along with 3 other ones polluted with pesticides. The vegetation season has lasted since spring till late autumn 2015. After acclimatization, the mixture of chloroorganic pesticides was added into 3 experimental pots. After harvest, it was found that pesticide contents in sorption subsoil (from 0.0017 to 0.0087 mg kg DM) were much higher than in control soil (from 0.0005 to 0.0027 mg kg DM). Achieved results initially indicate that Basket willow (Salix viminalis) can be used for reclamation of soils contaminated with pesticides, particularly for vitality prolongation of sorption barrier around the pesticide burial area. In future, it would allow for applying the sorption screen around pesticide burial area, which reduces pesticide migration into the environment, and grown energetic plants -through phytoremediation -would prolong the sorbent vitality and remove pesticides from above ground parts by means of combustion.

“…Recent findings have suggested that adsorption of hydrocarbons by E. crassipes is dominated by Van Der Waals forces (Lin & Zheng, 2003). Hence, the plant has capability to adsorb other compounds such as inorganic nutrients and pesticides (Reddy, Agami, & Tucker, 1989;Xia & Ma, 2006;Rosas, Carbajal, & Gómez, 1984;Ebel, Evangelou, & Schaeffer, 2007;Ghabbour, Davies, Lam, & Vozzella, 2004).…”

The demand for processed petroleum products and agricultural produce has exposed our environment to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contamination. PAHs stick to solid sediments and are ubiquitous including soil, water and air. Their presence in these media creates problems because consuming products obtained from these sources could be deleterious to human health since several of these compounds (benz(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, chrysene etc) have been implicated in causing tumors in animals and cancer in humans. The present review describes several remediation techniques which are efficient and cost effective in removing PAHs from the environment. Some of these conventional clean-up methods are not only environmental friendly; they also present a novel approach in reducing the ability of PAHs to cause prospective risk to humans and the ecosystem.

“…They play important roles in degrading and removing nutrients and other pollutants (Cui et al, 2010). Aquatic plant has eventually to remove contaminants from wastewater and soils as growing units through root system under the osmotic pressure during the photosynthesis processing, then the elements are translocated to accumulate in all parts of vegetative organ, but it depends on the degree of toxic chemical contaminants and aquatic plant species (Tateuyama et al, 1967;Reddy et al, 1990;Rai et al, 1994;De Souza et al, 1999;Marin and Ayele, 2003;Pulford and Watson, 2003;Xia and Ma, 2006;Gupta and Sinha, 2007;Wahla et al, 2008;Thaipichitburapa et al, 2010;Zaier et al, 2010;Chunkao et al, 2012 However, efficiency…”

The research was aimed to choose the most appropriate aquatic plant in high capacity as grown in small wetland for community wastewater treatment, they were Typha angustifolia Linn., Cyperus corymbosus Rottb., and Canna indica Linn. The small wetland, sometimes called vertical flow constructed wetland (VFCW), has been designated on 100-m long, 5-m wide and 0.75-m deep in size in which four-hole pipes were laid down at the bottom for releasing some treated wastewater as effluent through the outlet to the storage reservoir. There must be paved the gravel on the bottom up to the level of 5-cm height and overtopping with sand about 15 cm that be followed by 30-cm mixed soil (soil: sand equivalent to 3:1). All selected aquatic plant species were planted in small wetland before flowing community wastewater until soil at saturated level for first week and about 30 cm during second week up to the maximum age of plants. The choosing aquatic plant species were only depended on the high efficiency of wastewater treatment. The most probable aquatic plant was selected on Typha as the first priority for high wastewater treatment efficiency, Canna the second, and more or less efficiency for the others. Fortunately, Typha has been grown well in everywhere, particularly flat wetland in central, west, east and down north of Thailand.
