Accelerated remediation of organochlorine pesticide-contaminated soils with phyto-Fenton approach: a field study.

Phytoremediation and advanced oxidation processes are among the most promising techniques for removing organic pollutants from soils. A field trial was performed for six months to evaluate the effect of nano-FeO on the degradation of organochlorine pesticide residues including Lindane, p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), and p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD) in pesticide-contaminated soils in the presence of vetiver in Bac Giang province, Vietnam. Vetiver was planted in three zones with different nano-FeO concentrations.
