METHODS OF BIOREMEDIATION OF SOILS CONTAMINATED WITH HEAVY METALS DUE TO MILITARY ACTIVITIES

A Review of Phytoremediation of Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil Using Legumes and Cereal Crops

Hydrocarbon contamination of soil is a significant environmental challenge that results from industrial activities, oil spills, and improper waste disposal. Phytoremediation, the use of plants to remediate polluted environments, has emerged as an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution. Legumes and cereal crops play a...

Phytoremediation of Contaminated Soils: Mechanisms, Applications, Limitations, and Emerging Enhancement Strategies

Phytoremediation of contaminants in soil is among the most suitable technologies for the treatment of pollutants and for the preservation of green spaces. The approach mainly focuses on selecting plants which can endure pollution, have huge biomass and are non-economic plants. The development of a phytoremediation proc...

Use of bacterial preparations for bioremediation of polluted desert areas in the Turkestan Region

Research shows that bioproducts can reduce the concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil by 70-90% within several months, even under harsh climatic conditions and at low temperatures.

Restoration of degraded soils in a military-affected region in the South of Ukraine based on biologisation

Background : This study was motivated by the need to restore soils degraded by military operations, accompanied by compaction, destruction of structure and contamination with heavy metals, which reduce the productivity and ecological functioning of agroecosystems. The aim of the work was to evaluate the effectiven...

Assessment of the potential of Sunflower in Treating Some Contaminated Soils with Heavy Metals in Northwest Syria

Agricultural soils in Northwestern Syria are among the most affected areas by heavy metal pollution due to various anthropogenic activities, posing significant threats to agricultural productivity and environmental health. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of three sunflower cultivars (Helianthus annuus L.) — Am...
