• Metal Tolerance, Accumulation and Translocation in Poplar and Willow Clones Treated with Cadmium in Hydroponics (2009, methodology): “This technology, called phytoextraction (Kumar et al. 1995; Raskin et al. 1997; Padmavathiamma and Li 2007 ), is less expensive and less damaging to the environment than conventional remediation systems that consist mainly in the excavation and incineration of soil (Cunningham and Ow 1996).”
• Phytoremediation of heavy metals by Trifolium alexandrinum (2012, background): “However, physical and chemical methods are generally considered as destructive, expensive, labor-intensive and causing secondary problems (Padmavathiamma and Li, 2007; Wu et al., 2010).”
• Organic matter–microorganism–plant in soil bioremediation: a synergic approach (2013, background): “Padmavathiamma and Li (2007) have extensively reviewed the metal hyper-accumulation in plants, while the role of rhizosphere has been published in specific reviews (McGrath et al. 2001; Fitz and Wenzel 2002; Wenzel et al. 2004).”
• Phytoremediation and Plant-Assisted Bioremediation in Soil and Treatment Wetlands: A Review (2015, background): “Since the volatile forms of Hg and Se are also toxic, it is questionable whether the volatilization of these elements into the atmosphere is desirable or safe [16, 21].”
• Aquatic arsenic: toxicity, speciation, transformations, and remediation. (2009, background): “…studies have shown that many gene products are involved in the process of hyperaccumulation of As (Dhankar et al., 2002), hence single genes and multigenic engineering approaches may be applied to enhance the efficiency of phytoremediation (Padmavathiamma and Li, 2007; Tripathi et al., 2007).”
