| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses phytoremediation, using case studies including cleaning up an oil spill by planting St. Augustinegrass and milo, Ford Motor Company's Rouge Manufacturin Complex near Dearborn testing plant species to remove polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from coking operations, and lead removal with a community garden in Hartford, Connecticut. Also discusses the future of phytoremediation, stating that "ultimately...plants may provide cheaper, longer term solutions in areas beyond the most toxic impact of spills or industrial sites. 'Very few remediation scenarios are just one action anyway...Most of the time phytoremediation will be used with other clean-up actions to reduce the cost and impact of the other methods.' For example, extraction might be used to clean up high levens of contaminants, while plants might be used in fringe areas with low to medium levels of contamination." |
