Immobilization and phytotoxicity reduction of heavy metals in serpentine soil using biochar
(Springer, 2015)Purpose: Serpentine soils derived from ultramafic rocks release elevated concentrations of toxic heavy metals into the environment. Hence, crop plants cultivated in or adjacent to serpentine soil may experience reduced ... -
Influence of carbon nanotubes on the bioavailability of fluoranthene
(Wiley, 2015)Concurrent with the increase in the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in society is the rise of their introduction into the environment. Carbon nanotubes cause adverse effects themselves, and they have the potential to adsorb ... -
