Concentrations and Availability Indicators of Soil Heavy Metals; the Case of Children’s Playgrounds in the City of Athens (Greece)Water, Air, and Soil Pollution - Tập 212 - Trang 51-63 - 2010
Ioannis Massas, Constantinos Ehaliotis, Dionisios Kalivas, Georgia Panagopoulou
This study reports on the concentrations, distribution, and availability of heavy metals in the children’s playground soils of Athens. Playgrounds were chosen because they are open city areas; they show relatively even spatial distribution within the district of Athens and are used by a great number of young children and their escorts on a regular basis. Samples were collected from 70 playground s...... hiện toàn bộ
Remediation of acidic soils in copper sulfide mines through combined plant amendments and their effects on soil bacterial community structureWater, Air, and Soil Pollution - Tập 235 - Trang 1-15 - 2024
Xiaojuan Wang, Jinchun Xue, Hui Qi, Shuting Wang, Yu Wang
Due to prolonged exposure, the abandoned sites of copper sulphide mines lead to serious environmental problems, including soil acidification and heavy metal pollution. Soil amendments are extensively used in the remediation of contaminated soils. However, there has been little studies assessing the relationship between soil amendments and plant growth, soil physicochemical properties, enzyme activ...... hiện toàn bộ
Phytoremediation Technology: Hyper-accumulation Metals in PlantsWater, Air, and Soil Pollution - Tập 184 - Trang 105-126 - 2007
Prabha K. Padmavathiamma, Loretta Y. Li
This paper reviews key aspects of phytoremediation technology and the biological mechanisms underlying phytoremediation. Current knowledge regarding the application of phytoremediation in alleviating heavy metal toxicity is summarized highlighting the relative merits of different options. The results reveal a cutting edge application of emerging strategies and technologies to problems of heavy met...... hiện toàn bộ

Determination of the Residual Metal Binding Characteristics of Soils Polluted by Cd and PbWater, Air, and Soil Pollution - Tập 100 - Trang 49-62 - 1997
G. Merrington, B. J. Alloway
Four soils contaminated by Pb-Zn mining, Pb-Zn smelting, sewage sludge application, and clay pigeon shooting, respectively, were evaluated for their ability to attenuate relatively high concentrations of supplied Cd and Pb. The retention characteristics of the polluted soils and ‘background’-unpolluted soils for Cd and Pb, were assessed by batch adsorption experiments and equilibrium dialysis titr...... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of Oxygen on the Adsorption of Pentachlorophenol by Peat from WaterWater, Air, and Soil Pollution - Tập 100 - Trang 151-162 - 1997
S. Tanjore, T. Viraraghavan
Pentachlorophenol (PCP), a versatile biocide has been extensively used in industry and agriculture. PCP has been designated as a priority organic pollutant by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and its use in consumer products has been banned since 1984. Extensive use of PCP as a wood preservative has led to soil, surface water and groundwater pollution. Batch adsorption stu...... hiện toàn bộ
