Article Synopsis
- Soil pollution from petroleum products poses serious health and environmental risks, requiring innovative remediation solutions like rhizodegradation.
- Research reveals that using mixtures of different herbaceous plants can enhance the removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) from contaminated soil, compared to previous studies that focused on monoculture plantings.
- After two years of testing various plant combinations, the results showed a remarkable potential in TPH removal, achieving 85-90% effectiveness in soils with high contamination levels.
