The increase in heavy metal terrestrial ecosystems' contamination through anthropogenic
activities is a widespread and serious global problem due to their various environmental and …

The contamination of soils by trace metals has been an unfortunate sideeffect of
industrialization. Some of these contaminants can interfere with vulnerable enduses of soil …

The potential of 18 different plants to be used in the chemically enhanced phytoextraction of
Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd was assessed using pot experiments. Chrysanthemum coronarium L …

Phytoextraction has emerged as a novel approach to clean up metal-polluted soils in which
plants are used to transfer toxic metals from soils to shoots. This review provides a synthesis …

Phytoremediation is one of the safer, economical, and environment-friendly techniques in
which plants are used to recover polluted soils, particularly those containing toxic organic …

Phytoremediation is a promising and cost-effective strategy to manage heavy metal polluted
sites. In this experiment, we compared simultaneously phytoextraction and phytostabilisation …

In general, hyperaccumulators are low biomass, slow-growing plants. High biomass non-
hyperaccumulator plants by themselves are not a valid alternative for phytoextraction as they …

ABSTRACT A pot experiment was conducted to compare two strategies of phytoremediation:
natural phytoextraction using the Zn and Cd hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens J. Presl …

Synthetic chelates such as ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) have been shown to
enhance phytoextraction of some heavy metals from contaminated soil. In a soil column …

Increasing heavy metal (HM) concentrations in the soil have become a significant problem in
the modern industrialized world due to several anthropogenic activities. Heavy metals (HMs) …
