Phytoremediation Using trees, grasses and other plants to clean our environment Phytoremediation is an innovative technology that utilizes the natural properties of plants in engineered systems to remediate hazardous waste sites. This web page is a starting point for exploring the world wide web for information related to research in this area. Erickson, et, al. provides a brief introduction to the technology. (TOC) I thought it might be a good idea to compile a bibliography of articles related to this group. Here is a start. I've included most of the references for the work done on center project 90-13. If you'd like to add a reference to the bibliography simply reply to the phytorem mailing list. I'll update and post the file as needed. Modeling the beneficial effects of vegetation in the management of landfill leachates, Tracy, J.C., Erickson, L.E, Shimp, J.F., and Davis, L.C., Proceedings of the Air and Waste Management Association, 85th Meeting, Paper No. 92-27.03, 1992. Beneficial effects of plants in the remediation of contaminated soil and ground water, Shimp, J.F., Tracy, J.C., Davis, L.C., Lee, E., Huang, W., Erickson, L.E., and Schnoor, J.L., Critical Reviews in Environmental Control, Vol 23, No. 1, pp. 41-47, 1993. Rate limited degradation of hazardous organic contaminants in the root zone of a soil, Tracy, J.C., Erickson, L.E., and Davis, L.C., Proceedings of the Air and Waste Management Association, 86th Meeting, Paper No. 93-WA-89.02, 1993.
