Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) Enhanced Phytoremediation of DDT Contaminated Soil
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-21)Although the pesticide DDT has been banned from use in Canada for more than three decades, DDT still persists in Canadian farmlands at detectable levels. Much effort, such as incineration, thermal desorption, and bioremediation, ... -
Plant-Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria Enhanced Phytoremediation of Saline Soils and Salt Uptake into Plant Biomass
(University of Waterloo, 2011-07-19)Soil salinity affects an estimated one billion hectares worldwide. Excess salinity inhibits plant growth, limiting crop production. This is caused by osmotic stress in saline soil, nutrient imbalance and specific ion ... -
Quantitative Analysis of Petroleum Hydrocarbons (PHC) in Soils and Chemically Augmented Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria Enhanced Phytoremediation Systems.
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-15)Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) are a complex mixture of organic compounds, which can negatively impact terrestrial ecosystems. The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) provides recommendations on the ... -
Using Folsomia candida to Test the Toxicity of Weathered Petroleum-impacted Field Soils before and after Phytoremediation
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-01)The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) developed guidelines for petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) impacted field soils based on the “worst case” scenario of a fresh petroleum spill (CCME, 2001b; CCME, 2008b). ...
