The growing brownfield epidemic has to be addressed in such a way as to not further promote or produce secondary problems in the future. Conventional remediation methods can prove to be extremely costly due to their dependency on labor and heavy machinery. Secondly, many of these methods can pose serious health and environmental risks at any point during extraction, transportation or disposal. Due to the risk factors and the unpleasant aesthetics associated with the conditions of these sites during remediation along with the presence of heavy machinery, conventional remediation methods are also lacking in public support. Due to compounded environmental, economic and socioeconomic issues surrounding brownfields and conventional remediation, a more sustainable approach is critical. In response to this, extensive research is being directed into how plants break down or store an impressive array of toxic substances. Known as phytoremediation, this alternative method is gaining considerable support due to competitively lower cost and greater community support. In this paper I have outlined the benefits and detriments of the most commonly used conventional remediation methods and compared them with phytoremediation practices in terms of sustainability. Based on review articles and case studies, phytoremediation methods are convincingly the more sustainable choice due to a variety reasons. Despite this, phytoremediation methods represent only a small fraction of the projects currently under way. Critics point to factors such as prolonged time tables for growth, geographic applicability, and climatic effects as the pitfalls of phytoremediation. However, research into enhancing phytoremediation through the use of chelators and genetic engineering can greatly improve results.

▼ The purpose of this study is to investigate the treatment efficiencies of PCDD/Fs and Hg contaminated soil by phytoremediation, and to learn the translocation and distribution of PCDD/Fs and Hg in the plant tissues. In addition, the object of tests of adding amendments (citric acid, P. mendocina NSYSU and EDTA) into the testing systems are to assess the effects of plants on removal rates of PCDD/Fs and Hg from the contaminated soil. The results of this research were expected to provide important reference for remediating similar contaminated sites in the future. In this study, the pot tests in greenhouse were conducted by using the contaminated soils sampled from China Petrochemical Development Corporation (CPDC) An-shun site located in Tainan City, Taiwan. The selected plant species included Bidens pilosa, Leucaena glauca, Vetiver, Paspalum vaginatum, Commelina diffusa, Maize, Physic Nut and Squash. These plant species were all characterized as rapid growth, so it would be helpful and convenient for using them in different stages of test runs. The experimental results showed that the toxicity of PCDD/Fs and Hg might inhibit the growth of plants. The higher the concentrations of PCDD/Fs were controlled in soils, the less the height and biomass of the plant were observed. In addition, the plant roots were found able to promote the activities and diversity of microbial in the areas of rhizosphere. Besides, the congener profiles and concentration levels of PCDD/Fs between the contaminated soil and the shoot and root of plant species are highly positive correlation. In this study, it is also confirmed that the PCDD/Fs and Hg were first phytoextracted into the plant roots, and then were translocated into the shoot. However, the concentrations of PCDD/Fs and Hg of root were measured much higher than the shoot. The results of tests of adding amendments showed that citric acid, P. mendocina NSYSU and EDTA would promote the uptake ability of plants for PCDD/Fs and Hg, especially the plant species of vetiver and maize. In additions, adding EDTA into test systems presented effective improvement for the plant species of vetiver and maize uptaking Hg. The experimental results for PCDD/Fs and Hg accumulating in plant tissues showed that the species of vetiver performed better than the species of maize, which meant that the species of vetiver exhibited better resistance and higher biomass than the species of maize. Moreover, the removal rates of PCDD/Fs from soils were found higher for the species of maize than the species of vetiver. However, for Hg removal rates, the experimental results indicated that the species of vetiver was found greater than the species of maize. Thus, the removal effects of PCDD/Fs and Hg from contaminated soils would vary with the different plant species. It was concluded that the higher capability of extracting PCDD/Fs and Hg into plant tissues and the ability of promoting the rhizosphere microbial activity make both species of vetiver and maize become suitable candidates for phytoremediation in soils… Advisors/Committee Members: Chang Juu-En (chair), Yang Lei (committee member), Huang Chieh-Chen (chair), Liu Jong-Kang (chair), Jimmy Chi-Ming Kao (chair).

▼ There are over 21, 000 federally managed metal contaminated soil sites in Canada, not including sites managed by the private sector or sites affected by other contaminants requiring some level of remediation. One of the most economical remediation options, especially on a large scale, is phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is a process where plants and their associated microbes uptake, break down, or immobilize target soil contaminants. Native plant species are important to consider for phytoremediation since their lifecycles are acclimatized to local soil and weather and are not at risk of becoming invasive. The purpose of this thesis was to assess Canadian native plant species used in soil reclamation for their resistance to metals and salts found in oil sands mine tailings. To determine germination and growth inhibition concentrations of salts and metals, seeds were exposed to various metal and salt concentrations in semi-solid water agar. Germination and early growth of Achillea millefolium (common yarrow), Astragalus canadensis (Canadian milkvetch), Calamovilfa longifolia (Prairie sandreed), Koeleria macrantha (Prairie Junegrass), and Vicia americana (American vetch) were assessed in a lab bioassay using semi-solid water agar, and in a greenhouse experiment, using soil. The semi-solid water agar and soil were artificially contaminated with either a metal [Cd(NO3)2, Cr(NO3)2, Cu(NO3)2, Ni(NO3)2], or salt (KCl, NaCl, K2SO4, Na2SO4). In the bioassay, germination was inhibited by salts (0, 1000, 10 000, 100 000 mg kg-1) for all species at concentrations exceeding 1000 mg kg-1. Koeleria macrantha was the only species that was inhibited by metals at 20 and 50 mg kg-1 Cd and Cu. Roots and shoots exhibited stunting for many of the metal concentrations, and in salt concentrations exceeding 1000 mg kg-1. In the greenhouse experiment, metal concentrations (0, 10, 20, 50 mg kg-1) had no effect on germination and there was no significant difference (p<0.05) between the biomass of control plants and plants grown in the metal contaminated soil. Seeds struggled to germinate in salt contaminated soil (0, 1000, 5000 mg kg-1), mostly in the chloride amended soil, and produced very little biomass. The most promising candidate from the experiments was A. millefolium since it had the highest germination, and the longest root and shoot lengths in the bioassay study. Also, it produced the highest biomass in the greenhouse study, and was able to grow in chloride amended soil, which significantly inhibited other species. Results suggest A. millefolium should be the focus of future studies. Advisors/Committee Members: Germida, Jim J, Walley, Fran, Hecker, Markus, van Rees, Ken, Tanino, Karen.

▼ This thesis contributes to the knowledge of metal-tolerant and metal-accumulating plant species for use in the field of phytoremediation. A broader range of species of Brassicaceae has been assessed for cadmium tolerance and uptake than has previously been tested. Cadmium (Cd) was chosen as the target metal for phytoremediation due to its high toxicity at low contaminating concentrations. The Brassicaceae family is an important potential source of species for phytoremediation as it is host to the largest number of metal hyperaccumulating species and also includes metal-tolerant species capable of accumulating various metals, including Cd. The capability of untested members of the family Brassicaceae to accumulate and tolerate Cd, the effect of Cd exposure and concentration on shoot nutrient homeostasis and the effect of Cd exposure and concentration on the expression of metal transporter HMA4 was investigated in hydroponic experiments. The feasibility of candidate species to phytoextract Cd from contaminated soils and biosolids was assessed in both glasshouse and field conditions. In addition, the localisation of Cd in aerial tissue was investigated. Of 19 previously untested species encompassing four genera of the Brassicaceae, five species, B. oleracea gongylodes (kohl rabi), B. oleracea capitata (cabbage, variety Golden Acre), B. oleracea (collards), B. oleracea acephala (kale, Half Scotch Tall) and Erysimum scoparium (wall flower), were identified as Cd tolerant from hydroponic studies. The concentration of Cd in the aerial tissue in the species tested varied from 60 to 370 µg Cd g–1 DW. Cadmium tolerance was not correlated with aerial Cd concentration (µg g-1 DW), however, total aerial Cd (µg plant–1 DW) was proportional to total aerial biomass (mg plant–1 DW) (r=0.92), demonstrating the importance of biomass in the phytoextraction of Cd. Exposure to Cd resulted in decreased Fe and Zn concentrations and increased Ca, Na and Mg concentrations in aerial tissues. Orthologues of HMA4, a gene encoding a metal transport protein capable of root-to-shoot transport of Cd, were detected in kohl rabi, pak choi, collards, wild mustard, senposai, kale, turnip and radish. Putative paralogues were observed in half of these species. The presence of identical sequences in Brassica species originating from different genomic backgrounds as well as more distantly related species of Brassicaceae, suggests an ancestral duplication event of HMA4 occurred before the evolution of these species. An expression analysis using reverse-transcriptase PCR of turnip, senposai, kohl rabi and kale detected HMA4 in the root tissue only, with no expression detected in kale. When plants were exposed to increasing Cd concentrations, HMA4 expression increased in both turnip and senposai, corresponding to medium to high levels of Cd accumulation respectively. Expression of this gene did not change in kohl rabi, which is consistent with low levels of Cd accumulation in this species. This finding supports the role of HMA4 in root to shoot…

▼ Phosphorus (P) loading into surface water from runoff and subsurface flow leaving soils subjected to long-term applications of poultry litter (PL) will degrade water quality. A practical way to reduce such loading is to remove soil P through plant uptake and harvest removal. The primary field study presented here examined the effectiveness of hay harvest utilizing a double-cropped system - perennial warm-season forage grass, common bermudagrass (CB; Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.), overseeded with annual ryegrass (ARG; Lolium multiflorum Lam.), a cool-season forage, in reducing soil P from a Ruston fine-sandy loam impacted by PL amendments. A secondary field study similarly examined CB, bahiagrass (BG; (Paspalum notatum Flugge.), crabgrass (CG; Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop.) and switchgrass (SG; Panicum virgatum L.). The primary study was conducted as a randomized block design with three replicate plots of four previous rates of PL (0, 5, 10 and 20 Mg ha-1) applied annually (1996-2001) to CB sod, at the Calhoun Research Station in Calhoun, Louisiana. Following the last PL application, plots were overseeded with ARG in Fall 2001, forage harvested and analyzed for dry matter yield, tissue P concentration and P removal. Double-cropped ARG and CB were harvested as hay and analyzed as above through 2005, giving four years of data. In Spring 2002, four small sub-plots BG, CB, CG and SG were established in the upper end of the main plots used in the primary study and corresponding data for these warm-season forages was collected for three years. Over four years, ARG removed more soil P than did CB (112 vs. 76 kg P ha-1, averaged across all rates of previous PL application and soil Bray2 P levels) because of higher tissue P concentration. The double-cropped hay system, therefore, removed nearly 200 kg P ha-1 or reduced soil P by about 100 mg kg-1. Despite low tissue P concentration, high biomass production by SG extracted an average of 64 kg P ha-1 annually over three years. This rate was significantly greater than that for CB, BG or CB, and perhaps equaled or exceeded the combined rate for ARG and CB in the double-cropped system.

▼ The purpose of this study was to treat soils contaminated by pyrene through phytoremediation. The plant species selected were Phragmites communis Trin., Typha orientalis Presl, Vetiveria zizanioides, Rohdea japonica (Thunb.) Roth et Kunth, Cyperus malaccensis. Lam. subsp. monophyllus (Vahl) T. Koyama, Bolboschoenus planiculmis (F. Schmidt) T. Koyama and Bidens pilosa respectively. The degradation efficiencies of pyrene in soils and concentration of pyrene in the plant tissues were evaluated in this study. In addition, the change of microbial biota in soils was investigated in the tests of this study. The experimental results indicated that after twenty-two weeks, soils planted with V. zizanioides, R. japonica and T. orientalis have better pyrene degradation efficiencies. Especially, after fourteen weeks the pyrene degradation efficiencies were 86%, 84% and 77% respectively, which showed that the efficiencies 10% to 20% higher than those unplanted control experiments, which was 66%. In addition, the pyrene degradation efficiencies in summer were found to be higher than those in winter. The degradation efficiencies of pyrene in sterilized soil with and without T. orientalis were found equal to 59% and 55%, respectively. These values were found lower than those in the experiment without sterilization, in which the pyrene degradation efficiencies with and without T. orientalis were 77% and 66%, respectively, after the fourteen weeks experiment. Hence the rhizospheric microorganisms had a significant effect on the degradation of pyrene in soils. The pyrene degradation efficiencies were improved with application of fertilizer (HYPONeX No.2, HYPONeX Co., USA). After fourteen weeks, it was found that the experiment with fertilizer and with or without T. orientalis planted were 7% higher, which were 84% and 73% respectively, compared to 77% and 66% with no application of fertilizer. Proper surfactants have positive effect on phytoremediation. In this study, we found that addition of the surfactant Triton X-100 or combined surfactants (Triton X-100, Tween 20 and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate) both presented better pyrene degradation efficiencies than the system without adding surfactant. After ten weeks, soils planted with V. zizanioides and added with surfactants showed the pyrene degradation efficiencies equal to 85% and 87% (combined) respectively, which showed that 4% and 6% higher rate than the system without adding surfactants (81% ). After twenty two weeks, soils planted with V. zizanioides and added with surfactants showed that the pyrene degradation efficiencies were 96% and 96% (combined) respectively. They were all higher than the system without adding surfactants (94%). Soils planted with R. japonica also showed the same results. In this study, it was also found that the degradation efficiencies were higher at the surface layer of the soil than subsurface layer due to better oxygen content there. Hence the activities of microorganisms in the surface layer were higher than those in the subsurface layer of soils.… Advisors/Committee Members: Jimmy C.M.

▼ Worldwide, mining is a source of huge amounts of heavy metal contaminated waste. The most important environmental health risks associated with unmanaged mine waste are caused by the formation of acid mine drainage and the spread of metals into the environment through aeolian dispersion, surface runoff and leaching. Heavy metal pollution and acid mine drainage lead to a decrease of biodiversity, and an increase in death and disease of vegetation, wildlife and humans for many miles around the polluted area. A possible remediation technique is phytostabilization. A long-term vegetation cover would decrease the spread of dust and heavy metals through wind and water erosion, and decrease the leaching of heavy metals and acid mine drainage into the groundwater. Vegetation, possibly aided by microbiota or soil amendments, promotes soil development, nutrient recycling and the development of microbial communities. It is a non-invasive, cost efficient method to reclaim mine waste areas and reduce risks of heavy metal pollution and acid mine drainage. Revegetation has been successful in nutrient-poor heavy metal polluted mine waste areas both in temperate and arid climates. Mycorrhiza and plant growth-promoting bacteria have been found, in some studies, to aid plants in overcoming metal toxicity and decrease leaching and uptake of heavy metals into the plant. However, not all studies have found this effect. Mycorrhiza and growth-promoting bacteria can also decrease the amount of soil amendments needed, lowering costs. Very few studies on the long-term effects of revegetation on risk reduction have been performed. For instance, the decrease of aeolian dispersion and surface runoff due to revegetation has not been studied, and only few have studied the effects on leaching. These studies, possibly due to large differences in experimental design, show conflicting results. It is unclear what influence revegetation has on heavy metal leaching. Metal mobility is influenced by many conflicting processes driven by the plant, bacteria, mycorrhiza and soil status. Most of these processes only influence the rhizosphere and the top soil layer and are not expected to influence metal mobility on a larger scale. Acidification due to vegetation does not seem to be a problem, especially when the right plants are selected. The few studies done show only a very slight decrease in pH levels over time, or an increase under the influence of soil amendments and vegetation. Many plant species do not accumulate heavy metals into their above-ground biomass; these would not pose a risk to foraging animals. In the selection of plants, and after plant establishment, attention should be paid to metal content in leaves and shoots. These should not exceed animal toxicity levels to prevent entry into the food-chain. In order to obtain the best results, a small field study can be performed to select plants with a low metal accumulation and a high tolerance for the local tailing conditions. This ensures higher plant survival rates after planting. After plant… Advisors/Committee Members: Blaauboer, B.J., Rijk, I..

Advancement in the agricultural production has given rise to land pollution. Continuous imbalanced use of fertilizes and indiscriminate use of herbicides, insecticides, etc. on the crops along with organic domestic and industrial wastes has caused serious environmental pollution. The cotton belt of Punjab has seen tremendous increase in the incidence of dreaded diseases, cancer during the last decade virtually making it a cancer region of Punjab. The block Talwandi Sabo, District Bathinda (Punjab) is falls in the arsenic belt of Punjab. The genotoxicity of soil samples was studied by two different test systems: Allium anaphase-telophase chromosome aberration assay (Allium assay) and Yeast assay. The data on Allium anaphase-telophase aberration assay and yeast assay revealed the genotoxic nature of soil samples collected from three villages (Jajjal, Giana and Malkana). The observations showed that the incidence of aberrations in the RTCs as well as convertants in yeast increased with the increase in the concentrations of the soil extracts in a dose dependent manner. Morphologically and cytologically the plants from the study area were found to be similar to the plants of the control site. The plants of Patiala populations of these species had more pollen fertility than that of the plants from polluted area. Based on the RAPD analysis of four populations of each of the species i.e., Achyranthes aspera, Ageratum conyzoides, Amaranthus virdis, Digera muricata, Parthenium hysterophorus and Tribulus terrestris formed two major cluster groups. The populations of Trianthema portulacastrum formed three cluster groups. The present study has clearly revealed that the denizens of the polluted area have the potential to tolerate high concentrations. The tolerance index (TI) for roots was observed to be maximum in Parthenium hysterophorus. In the present study TF, BF and PC was observed to be greater than one in the case of Achyranthes aspera.

▼ Several studies have demonstrated the potential of plant growth-promoting bacteria, including their use as inoculants, in the contexts of both agriculture and enhanced phytoremediation. Despite their promise, there is still a need to characterize and identify plant growth-promoting bacteria amidst isolates cultured to date. Therefore the purpose of this study was to i) screen bacterial endophytes isolated from plants growing in both a chronically nutrient-deficient agricultural soil and a hydrocarbon-contaminated soil for plant growth-promoting potential in vitro and ii) assess the plant growth-promoting capabilities of isolates in vivo. Bacterial isolates belonging to genera common to both environments were screened for plant growth-promoting genotypes and phenotypes including ACC deaminase activity (acds), hydrocarbon degradation (alkB and CYP153), alkaline phosphatase activity (phoD), and nitrogen fixation (nifH). After screening, 28 isolates from 16 genera were subjected to further study in vivo. After using seed germination and root elongation screening in wheat (Trictum aestivum) and sweet clover (Melilotus alba), four isolates were selected for further study—A3 (Pseudomonas sp.) and A9 (Delftia sp.) in sweet clover and A12 (Kluyvera sp.) and B34 (Luteimonas sp.) in wheat—as they promoted early plant growth and development. Plant growth-promoting capabilities were then assessed by inoculating wheat and sweet clover seeds and growing plants in a growth chamber for 60 days in either a marginal agricultural soil or the same soil amended with diesel. Isolates A12 (Kluyvera sp.) and B34 (Luteimonas sp.) increased the acquisition of nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) by plants when growing in the marginal agricultural soil. However, plant growth-promoting effects were lost when diesel fuel was added. Further, no effect was observed in sweet clover in either soil condition. Initial screening for plant growth-promoting potential highlighted the importance of including functionality screening as the presence or absence of a plant growth-promoting genotype did not always indicate a positive phenotype. Further, this work exemplified the importance of in vivo screening assays to identify potential plant growth-promoting bacteria. Finally, results showed bacteria with plant growth-promotion potential can be isolated from stressed environments and may promote wheat growth in a marginal agricultural soil.

▼ A greenhouse experiment was designed to test phenolic-exuding horticultural plant species for their phytoremediation potential in soils contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Species included high-phenolic-exuding plants: Malus sp., Osmanthus fragrans, Sambucus nigra, Castanea pumila, Morus alba, and Myrica cerifera and low-polyphenol-exuding plants: Ziziphus jujube, Ribes aureum, and Cassia fistula. The species were planted in soil amended with benzo[a]pyrene, phenanthrene, and pyrene. After 7 months, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium amendments were added each month for three months. Plant roots were harvested; polyphenols were ethanol-extracted and quantified using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Rhizosphere DNA was extracted, quantified, and the 16S rRNA gene and ITS region were sequenced for bacteria and fungi, respectively. In addition, qPCR was conducted that targeted the 16S rRNA and ITS region of bacteria and fungi, respectively. The highest and lowest concentrations of phenolics were from Sambucus nigra and Ribes aureum, respectively. There were no significant differences between 16S rRNA and ITS abundance among treatments. Sequencing showed a significant difference between the rhizosphere bacterial community compositions on a global level. Specifically, several Actinobacteria were over-represented in the low-phenolic-exuding plants, while high-phenolic-exuding plants were over-represented by several Proteobacteria. There were no significant differences between the fungal populations of treatments and all were dominated by Ascomycota. However, high-phenolic exuders had a higher abundance of Basidiomycota, than the low-phenolic exuders. Results showed that different microbial communities were selected for by high polyphenol-exuding plants and low polyphenol-exuding plants. This selection was more pronounced in bacteria than in fungi. The drastic ways in which bacteria respond to phenolic inputs highlight their importance in phytoremediation.

▼ Previous results have shown a strong correlation between vegetation and dissipation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination over long time frames. Evidence of phytoremediation over shorter time frames is difficult to detect, particularly in sites where overall PAH concentrations have not begun to significantly decrease. This study assessed the impact of vegetation on a highly contaminated sediment over a short time frame in order to track the effects of plant derived organic carbon (PdOC) in a variety of sediment compartments. The Indiana Harbor Canal is an industrialized area with historic petroleum contamination of near-shore sediments. In 2002, near-shore sediments were planted with hybrid poplar and willow trees as part of a phytoremediation treatability study. Site disturbance allowed for colonization by cattails and Phragmites. In 2004, non-vegetated and vegetated oiled-shore sediments were collected and analyzed for 42 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), total organic carbon, and percent modern carbon (14C radiocarbon). Sediments were collected from several locations, field-composited, homogenized, sieved, and chemically fractionated. There is a significant input of modern carbon in both labile and recalcitrant fractions of vegetated sediments that is absent in the non-vegetated control. Phragmites sediments contained more modern carbon (plant carbon) and more weathered PAH ratios than willow, cattail, and non-vegetated sediments. Organic carbon-normalized PAH concentrations were greater in Phragmites humin than other sediments. Humin fractions of willow trees were more weathered than non-vegetated humin, but modern carbon values were not always different. Cattail humin contained more modern carbon than non-vegetated humin, but only de-ashed humin was more weathered than non-vegetated de-ashed humin. Results show that sediment composition and PAH weathering indices are not indicative of reduced PAH concentrations. Instead, PAH weathering appears related to increased modern carbon (plant carbon) content. Substantial increases in modern carbon content were observed after two years of plant growth. These results suggest that PdOC is diffusing into a variety of sediment compartments where it may be enhancing carbon cycling and beginning to mitigate PAH concentrations.

The major aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of Salicornia ramosissima, a halophyte present in Obidos lagoon (Portugal), on Cadmium (Cd) phytoremediation, when submitted to different salinities and Cd concentrations, for a month. Two Cd concentrations were used to evaluate this capacity and, consequently, the toxic effect of Cd on the plant development. The contamination levels were tested in different salinities (0, 5 and 10), taking into consideration the natural conditions that S. ramosissima is subject in its natural environment. The mortality registered in the end of the experiment, as the growth parameters measured (length and weight), did not showed significantly differences between the treatments, which means were not affected for the salinity or Cd concentrations, neither for the interaction of those two stress factors. However, length elongation and the variation of weight, observed in the end of the experiment, may have been induced by the increase of salinity and Cd concentration. A highest Cd accumulation was detected in the roots of S. ramosissima, compared with the aerial portion. The Cd accumulation in roots decreased with the increase of salinity and Cd concentration, even though statistically there were no significant differences between treatments. In all treatments, a biofilm was form, highlighting treatment salinity 0 x 50 μg Cd.l-1, where microorganisms and, eventually, organic matter (from the plant), suspended revealed a higher Cd amount relatively to the water initial Cd concentrations. The dissolved Cd concentration, detected in the final of the experiment, was in accordance with the initial contamination levels used in this study; however an increase was observed for some treatments, possible as a result of decomposition of organic matter and consequent release of Cd to the water. Salicornia ramosissima is a potential candidate for Cd phytoremediation at salinities close to 0, where development is maximum and, consequently, is Cd accumulation capacity. The optimization of phytoremediation processes by S. ramosissima could turn possible the use of this plant in freshwater ecosystems.

▼ La contaminación del suelo es una de las principales amenazas para los ecosistemas y la salud humana. Actualmente, desde un punto de vista tanto económico como ambiental, la fitoestabilización es la mejor tecnología para remediar suelos contaminados con elevadas concentraciones de metales como son los suelos mineros. La fitoestabilización asistida consiste en el empleo de plantas y enmiendas orgánicas y/o inorgánicas con el fin de reducir la movilidad y la biodisponibilidad de los contaminantes y recuperar la salud de suelo. En este trabajo se han realizado ensayos en microcosmos y en campo centrándonos en la salud del suelo minero contaminado con Pb y Zn durante un proceso de fitoestabilización empleando enmiendas orgánicas (purines vacunos, gallinaza, estiércol de oveja y lodos de papelera mezclados con gallinaza) y/o la especie metalífera Festuca rubra con el objetivo de (i) estudiar las interacciones suelo-enmienda responsables de los cambios inducidos por el proceso de quimioestabilización en las propiedades físicoquímicas y biológicas del suelo, (ii) evaluar la efectividad del proceso de fitoestabilización sobre suelos vegetados y de la revegetación sobre suelos desnudos (iii) valorar la idoneidad de distintos indicadores químicos y biológicos (parámetros microbianos y de la vegetación) para monitorizar la efectividad de la fitoestabilización asistida en términos de reducción de la biodisponibilidad de metales en el suelo, mejora de la vegetación y de la recuperación de la salud del suelo. La aplicación de enmiendas al suelo minero supone una entrada de materia orgánica y nutrientes que conduce a una disminución de la biodisponibilidad de metales, facilitando la colonización de las plantas y el crecimiento de la vegetación nativa, además de estimular la actividad microbiana del suelo. El pH del suelo es un factor crítico que condiciona la movilidad de los metales y la toxicidad del suelo. Las poblaciones microbianas de las enmiendas no modificaron la diversidad funcional de las comunidades microbianas nativas de la mina. Los purines vacunos y los lodos de papelera mezclados con gallinaza son los tratamientos más efectivos en el proceso de fitoestabilización asistida bajo condiciones de campo. La gallinaza fue el tratamiento que más estimuló el crecimiento de la vegetación nativa y la colonización en los suelos desnudos. El bioensayo de elongación radical de lechuga es un test sensible, sencillo y barato para evaluar la biodisponibilidad de metal y la ecotoxicidad del suelo. Los tocoferoles son biomarcadores de exposición a metales con potencial para su implementación en bioensayos de toxicidad. Este trabajo permite concluir que la población metalífera de F. rubra, combinada con enmiendas orgánicas, es una excelente candidata para los proyectos de fitoestabilización asistida. Además, la monitorización simultánea de los parámetros fisicoquímicos y microbiológicos del suelo y de su ecotoxicidad permite una evaluación adecuada de la salud del suelo, así como la selección de enmiendas apropiadas para el… Advisors/Committee Members: Becerril Soto, José María (advisor), Hernández Hernández, Antonio (advisor).

▼ Spreading biosolids on farmland is a common biosolids management practice in western Canada. Wetland and terrestrial-based phytoremediation approaches may be viable options for remediating biosolids in end-of-life municipal lagoons. Water depth is regulated during wetland phytoremediation whereas there is no control of water regime during terrestrial phytoremediation. Studies were conducted to quantify cattail (Typha spp.) biomass and nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) phytoextraction from biosolids in (i) a wetland constructed in the former primary cell and (ii) a dewatered secondary cell of an end-of-life municipal lagoon. Overall, the phytoextraction of N and P by cattail was lower with a single harvest than two harvests per year. The study also examined the effects of harvest timing (August, November, and April) on nutrient removal in the harvested cattail biomass. Compared to August, harvesting cattails in the wetland in November or April reduced N and P phytoextraction by 63-85%. In the wetland study, nutrient phytoextraction was 6.2% of initial N content and 2.2% of initial P content while the terrestrial-based approach removed 5.8% and 2.3% of the initial N and P content, respectively. A greater fraction of P (~ 73%) taken up by cattail was sequestered in the rhizomes, which reduced its mobility and transport to surface waters. A study examining nutrient availability using plant root simulator (PRS) probes during wetland-based phytoremediation showed that N supply rate increased with time after July whereas phosphate supply rate remained relatively unchanged. Cumulative nutrient supply rate was positively correlated with plant uptake. The effects of flooding on P release during terrestrial phytoremediation in the secondary cell was investigated using biosolids cores. Dissolved reactive P (DRP) was the major fraction of P in floodwater. Flooding for more than 3 d resulted in the release of >0.5 mg L-1 DRP to floodwater. Our results suggest that biosolids pose a risk of P loss to surface water bodies receiving floodwater from the lagoon. Releasing floodwater closer to the start of the flooding event minimizes P release to floodwater. Overall, this research shows that phytoremediation is a viable, low-cost option for managing biosolids from end-of-life municipal lagoons.

▼ There is a public concern over the potential accumulation of heavy metals in soils. Numerous studies have already demonstrated that areas in close proximity to vehicular traffic are marked noticeably by contamination of soil, air and water. Hence, such activities can affect humans and other living organisms. The aim of this study is to investigate the pollution of soils caused by vehicular traffic, on agricultural land in Azzawiyah, Liby with the view of assessing potential application of phytoremediation options for the remediation of contaminated soils and determine whether soil amendments would improve soil remediation. In an effort to improve the status of pollution of soils by vehicular traffic, a phytoremediation method of remediation of contaminated land has been used in this study, as it is relatively inexpensive and has the potential through the appropriate selection of plant species to be effective. This method is a soil clean up technology that uses the ability of metal accumulator plants to extract metal from contaminated soil with their roots and to concentrate these metals in above-ground plant parts. In this study, the investigation area was in Azzawiyah city where the soil samples and Doedonea viscose plant were collected from the road side. These soil samples were analysed using different experiments to determine physical and chemical properties, such as pH, OM and CEC. Heavy metals in soil and Doedonea viscose shoot and root were analysed using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The findings of the study show that all soils samples collected along the highway road connecting Azzawiyah with the southern parts of Libya were found to be granular with a sandy texture. It is also found that the metal content in soil collected from the site, which is close to the roadside was relatively higher than that soil collected from the agricultural field in the same area. Furthermore, the level of Pb (840mg/kg-1) in roadside soils was higher than the natural levels of Pb in soils. In addition, Doedonea viscose plant was not a hyperaccumulor plant. Greenhouse experiments used three plants (E. camaldeulensis, Brassica Juncea and Medicago sativum) to uptake heavy metal, such as Cd, Zn and Pb from the soil samples. The greenhouse experiment results indicate that E. camaldeulensis was the best plant species for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soils than the other two plants species (Brassica Juncea, Medicago sativum). The efficiency of the E. camaldeulensis was increased by adding amendments (e.g. compost, compost, EDTA, Hoagland solution and Alcaligenes eutrophus) to the plants pots in order to uptake the lead form soil samples. The results of the pots amendments experiments indicate that 15 mmol of EDTA and bacterial inoculums (Alcaligenes eutrophus) were the best amendments to extract lead from the soils. The study suggests that using the Alcaligenes eutrophus with the E. camaldeulensis are more suitable for phytoremediation in terms of accumulation and cost.
