Abstract
Heavy metals and petroleum oil are the two most important contaminants in the environment. Currently, phytoremediation is regarded as an effective and affordable solution that allows the attenuation of toxic pollutants through the use of plants. Not many studies are carried out regarding the use of aromatic plants capable of remediating soil that is co-contaminated by heavy metal and petroleum hydrocarbons. A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of cadmium-resistant PGPR Micrococcus luteus on the phytoremediation efficiency of Ocimum gratissimum in Cd and petroleum co-contaminated soil. The plants were harvested after 60 days of treatment and their growth and biomass were determined. The accumulation of Cd in plant shoots and roots was determined. The residual petroleum hydrocarbon concentration during the 60 days of the phytoremediation experiment was determined using GC-FID. O. gratissimum with M. luteus showed the highest Cd accumulation (14.05 mg kg-1) and the highest reduction of TPH (46.64%). M. luteus ameliorated contaminant toxicity and promoted biomass production of O. gratissimum. These results demonstrated that O. gratissimum in combination with M. luteus can be efficiently used to remediate Cd and petroleum-co-contaminated soils.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Phytoremediation (IJP) is the first journal devoted to the publication of laboratory and field research describing the use of plant systems to solve environmental problems by enabling the remediation of soil, water, and air quality and by restoring ecosystem services in managed landscapes. Traditional phytoremediation has largely focused on soil and groundwater clean-up of hazardous contaminants. Phytotechnology expands this umbrella to include many of the natural resource management challenges we face in cities, on farms, and other landscapes more integrated with daily public activities. Wetlands that treat wastewater, rain gardens that treat stormwater, poplar tree plantings that contain pollutants, urban tree canopies that treat air pollution, and specialized plants that treat decommissioned mine sites are just a few examples of phytotechnologies.
