She and her agronomy professor husband, Paul Schwab, were one of the first research teams to develop methods for field-testing phytoremediation, the use of plants to clean up contaminated soil. Banks ...

Yes, says a research team. Specific plant species could be used as cover plants for phytoremediation, i.e. to relief agricultural land from adverse pollutant impacts. In their article, the ...

Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly approach to cleansing the soil, water, and air of contaminants, utilizing the natural ...

Now Purdue University researchers are prodding them to take the cleanup a step further, to become phytoremediators -- plants that collect heavy metals and radioactive waste from polluted water and ...

Doty's collaborators, biotechnologist Neil Bruce at the University of York in England and his colleagues, have also created genetically engineered plants for phytoremediation. They have focused on ...

Using plants for bioremediation is known as phytoremediation. Certain mushrooms can also be used in ecosystem restoration and bioremediation. Using mushrooms for remediation is often referred to ...

A team of researchers has demonstrated that some plant species could help to remove toxic heavy metals and metalloids from contaminated soil. A team of researchers from Nanyang Technological ...

Possible mechanisms and technological process of micro/nanoplastics phytoremediation. The plastics absorbed and intercepted by plants can be recycled through different processes for incineration ...

But agriculture could also benefit from this method, says Marie Muehe: "The use of selected cover plants for phytoremediation is a natural, climate-neutral way to improve and maintain soil health.
