Synergistic effect of pyrene and heavy metals (Zn, Pb, and Cd) on phytoremediation potential of Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa) in multi-contaminated soil.

The environment in India is contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) due to the occurrence of large anthropogenic activities, i.e., fuel combustion, mineral roasting, and biomass burning.

Microbial-assisted phytodegradation for the amelioration of pyrene-contaminated soil using and with alfalfa and sunflower.

Environmental pollution caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) jeopardizes nature. PAHs are the most toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic pollutants and their cleanup is important for the environment. In the current research, to assess and evaluate three remediation strategies for pyrene removal from the soil, a pot experiment was performed: (a) bioremediation with  and , (b) phytoremediation with sunflower () and alfalfa ( L.

Comparative analysis of remediation efficiency and ultrastructural translocalization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in , and .

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are semi-volatile anthropogenic contaminants that can damage soil fertility and threaten the environment due to their hazardous effects on various ecological parameters. The experimental objective was divided into two parts because PAHs are always present in mixtures. The toxicity of anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and fluoranthene was examined and investigated the potential of three phytoremediator plants species viz , , and for remediation and translocation of individual PAH.
