Ability of White Clover and Alfalfa to Grow in Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Contaminated soil in Iran and their Phytoremediation Potential

Over the past decades rapid growth in industrial and agricultural activities, waste disposal and etc., have significantly contributed to extensive soil contamination. Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) are one of the most common groups of persistent organic contaminants. To date, many developing countries like Iran have almost completely relinquished remediation of oil-polluted soils due to th...

Potential of Vetiver (vetiveria Zizanioides (l.) Nash) for the Use in Phytoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-contaminated Soils in Venezuela

Removal of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs) from Oil-Polluted Soil in Iran

Phytoremediation is an emerging environmental-friendly technology that can be a promising solution to remediate oil-polluted soils. The impact of high amount of hydrocarbons on growth characteristics of burningbushand common flax was evaluated in this survey. The influence of organic fertilizers was also assessed on growth of plant species in oil...
