Phytoextraction of cadmium contaminated soils by ornamental plant: growth response, tolerance index and accumulation

(Corresponding) Gul I., Manzoor M., Zaheer M., Ahmad I., Shah G., Kallerhoff J., Arshad M.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Cadmium (Cd) contaminated soil is a global concern and restoration of contaminated soil is challenging due to its persistence and non-biodegradability. In this study the phytoextraction capability of ornamental plant (Pelargonium zonale) for remediating Cd contaminated soil was assessed. For this...Read more

Plastic to microplastic in the United Arab Emirates – plastic bottle caps in a hot, arid environment

Selem B., Alkarbi A., Alhosani A., Ahmad F., Elemam M., Iftikhar S., Mourad A., (Corresponding) Thiemann T.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

The degradation of plastic bottle tops as a common contributor to plastic waste in the environment was assessed under the hot, arid conditions of the hinterland of the United Arab Emirates. 500 bottles tops were collected from 5 different locations in the Al Ain area and their surface oxidation...Read more
