Potential for Plant-Based Remediation of Pesticide-Contaminated Soil and Water using Nontarget Plants such as Trees, Shrubs, and Grasses

Natural, cost‐effective, and sustainable alternatives for treatment of aircraft deicing fluid waste

“…There are several studies confirming that many xenobiotics can be partially or totally metabolized by plants and/or incorporated into their bound residue [30,52]. In the case of benzotriazoles, our research group has demonstrated that sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) in hydroponic culture were able to grow in solutions containing BT, TT, or MBT at concentrations not higher than 100 mg/L, prepared in Hoagland's nutrient solution at full strength.…”

Variation Characteristics of Chlorpyrifos in Nonsterile Wetland Plant Hydroponic System

“…The results of Table 1 indicated that the order of chlorpyrifos concentration in different plant tissues was root > stem > leaf. Once moved inside the plants, pesticides are distributed from the roots primarily into the leaves and lost via diffusion if volatile (Karthikeyan et al 2004). Ke et al (2003) found a significant accumulation of pyrene in roots of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, regarding 3.5% from an initial pyrene concentration of 3 mg/kg in soil.…”

“…Sequestration of pesticides includes physical (absorption, adsorption, and partitioning), chemical (complexation reaction with cuticular and membrane components), and biological (microbial degradation and plant uptake) processes by which plants remove any anthropogenic organic compounds from air and liquid media (Karthikeyan et al 2004). As overwhelmingly positive results have become available regarding the ability of plantmicroorganism combined remediation, increasing researches are getting involved in the phytoremediation of organic contaminants (Moore et al 2007, Budd et al 2009).…”

Corporate environmental information system data storage development and management (Environmental Information System)

“…Attempts of pollution modeling in the system "soil-plant" are of particular relevance in phytoremediation technologies. The main purpose of phytoremediation technology -restoration of soil / sediment / water contaminated by xenobiotics, through using plants and it is directly applicable in contaminated areas [3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”
