| Abstract/Contents: | "The use of plants to remediate soil an shallow ground water contaminated by inorganic and organic substances is gaining acceptance worldwide. Various terms and phrases have been used to describe the general approach; we choose plant system technologies to avoid some of the confusion with previously used terms. Phytoremediation is synonymous with plant system technologies in common usage; however, many people mistakenly assume a more narrow definition of phytoremediation. Little information is available for curriculum development for the use of plant system technologies for remediation of contaminated sites. The purpose of this paper is to present a primer on plant system technologies for instructors who may wish to incorporate this material into their courses, and to provide instructional materials for courses that may already discuss plant system technologies. Many colleges and universities have courses in introductory environmental science. In those courses, the use of plants for remediation is a popular topic because it is viewed as a natural or environmentally friendly means of dealing with contaminated soil or shallow ground water. The information presented in this paper serves as a useful introduction to the topic. As plant system technologies gain acceptance, they have also become a topic for more advanced environmental science or engineering courses. In this case it is likely that the students have had little training in basic plant and soil science, and the material presented here addresses that deficiency." |
