http://www.provectusenvironmental.com Provectus Environmental is a soil and groundwater remediation firm especially for the environmental consulting (or remediation) industry who are searching for better solutions for environmental challenges and who may have limited resources for contaminated site clean-up. Unlike the bigger, more entrenched players with one-size-fits-all solutions and little regard for customer needs and service, Provectus is the only remedial resource that acts as a technology clearinghouse, so that engineers, contractors, and landowners can rest assured knowing their remediation challenges have been met with safe, effective, and cost-efficient solutions.

Phytomremediation wall system the Center for Architecture Science and Ecology—a collaboration between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill—has created a new prototype that would work with a building's existing HVAC system to reduce energy loads and improve indoor air quality. The Active Phytoremediation Wall System is a modular wall system of pods housing hydroponic plants. Because the plants' roots are exposed, instead of being buried in soil, the plants' air-cleaning capacity increases by 200 to 300 percent. Air moves through a perforated air intake duct—a series of mini-jets are being developed to encourage airflow—and directly over the root system. This allows the rhizomes on the roots to essentially digest airborne toxins—VOCs, particulate matter, and other biological and chemical pollutants—without the plant itself becoming toxic (which is what happens when the toxins are taken in solely through the leaves). The cleaned air then flows out of each pod through a series of clean air ducts and is reintroduced to the environment.

Hemp planted to remediate Chernobyl This article explains that the term "phytoremediation" was coined by Dr. Ilya Raskin of Rutgers University's Biotechnology Center for Agriculture and the Environment, who was a member of the original task force sent by the IAEA to examine food safety at the Chernobyl site, where they planted hemp to remove radiation from the environment. Phytoremediation is a process that takes advantage of the fact that green plants can extract and concentrate certain elements within their ecosystem. For example, some plants can grow in metal-laden soils, extract certain metals through their root systems, and accumulate them in their tissues without being damaged. In this way, pollutants are either removed from the soil and groundwater or rendered harmless.

Science Daily A Lithuanian company, Biocentras, together with academic partners from Latvia and Lithuania developed a technique that has so far cleaned over 22,000 tons of soil without the need for potentially harmful chemicals or genetically modified technologies. This natural process transforms contaminated soil so that it can be used again for growing all kinds of plants.

First the good news, seed banks around the world have preserved seeds of species we have already extinguished through our ignorance. There is a plant to remediate every chemical. Some plants may serve multiple purposes. Note that organic cures advocates planting and growing plants where you need to remediate. More land should be returned to nature, including wetlands. The more natural the environment, the fewer toxins can remain. In the future, more links on photoremediation will be added to this category as they come in from Google Alerts.

Conference on the benefits of floating macrophytes held in Pakistan Floating macrophytes are shown to remediate toxic chemicals from waterways. Solution: research and grow floating macrophytes, introduce them into the environment where they will benefit affected wetlands, and watch the bioremediation begin.

University of Iowa Environmental Science Professor William Crumpton says his research focuses on "wetland processes and functions in agricultural landscapes, including the dynamics of energy flow and nutrient transformation in wetlands."

Phytoremediation Benefits of 86 Indoor Plants Published Scientists tested 86 species of plants at removing formaldehyde, exposing the plants to gaseous formaldehyde in airtight chambers constructed of inert materials and measuring the rate of removal. Osmunda japonica (Japanese royal fern), Selaginella tamariscina (Spikemoss), Davallia mariesii (Hare's-foot fern), Polypodium formosanum, Psidium guajava (Guava), Lavandula (Sweet Lavender), Pteris dispar, Pteris multifida (Spider fern), and Pelargonium (Geranium) were the most effective species tested. Ferns had the highest formaldehyde removal efficiency of the five classes of plants tested, with Osmunda japonica determined to be most effective of all 86 species.

As architects delve further into sustainable design methods, the use of plants to remediate contaminated urban landscapes is growing.

Large scale phytoremediation project, Berkeley To reclaim an abandoned railway right of way contaminated with arsenic, they will plant 2, 000 Chinese brake ferns (Pteris vittata). These have the potential to absorb arsenic from the soil and store it in the fronds. They are following EPA protocols and will submit detailed results of their study. Anders Olsen manages the project under Celline Pallud, Assistant Professor, UC Berkeley Department of Environmental Services. Funded with an academic grant. They plan to chop down all the ferns and test them, but why not leave a few ferns around in each area, and test them over time. Maybe they can remediate the arsenic over time. Maybe when the fronds fall off, the microbial life gobbles up the final bits of arsenic. Basically, what you have there is a microbe that eats arsenic. Why cut down all the ferns and clog up the hazardous waste sites?

Aquatic Phytoremediation Flocking, by Elizabeth Hwangbo Mississippi River contamination dead zone detectors. "When increased chemical concentrations are detected, fins are triggered to expand slowing their speed causing the units to aggregate in an interlocking grid to cleanse the area. The fins push units apart from one another when chemical concentrations are lowered; they disperse and continue to float until another contaminated area is detected."

phytoremediation A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick are about to embark on a research program called "Cleaning Land for Wealth" (CL4W), that will use a common class of flower to restore poisoned soils while at the same time produce platinum and arsenic nanoparticles that can be used in a range of applications.
