In recent years, phytoremediation as a promising ecological restoration technique has emerged. Phytoremediation is a repair method that uses green plants to transfer, contain, or convert contaminants to the environment. Phytoremediation is a heavy metal, organic or radioactive element contaminated soil and water. The results show
that the use of plant absorption, volatilization, root filtration, degradation, stability and other effects, can purify soil
or water pollutants, to achieve the purpose of purifying the environment, so phytoremediation is a great potential, the development of the clean environment Pollution of green technology. The use of plants to repair contaminated soil is a cheap and durable bioremediation technique. The protection and management of Taihu Lake is an indispensable measure for the protection of Taihu Lake water, and the advantages of phytoremedry investment, low freight and
low leakage of pollutants show that its promotion has this unusual significance. This paper expounds the difference
of remediation soil between Taihu Lake Ecological Shelter Forest, and the comparison of the soil capacity of the
experimental tree species. Second, the correlation between the monitoring projects is discussed.
The impact of human activities on the quality of urban environment has become increasingly prominent and urban soil pollution problems on the health of local residents also gradually prominent. In addition, the study of heavy metal pollution in urban surface soil is an important part of the evolution model of urban geological environment so it is necessary to analyze the heavy metal pollution in urban soil. In this paper, the data of the given samples are processed and analyzed by MATLAB software and EXCEL spreadsheet. The three - dimensional image model and the planar model of metal element space are established by interpolation method. The spatial distribution of eight kinds of heavy metal elements in the city is presented in detail. For the urban environment, especially the macro-grasp of soil pollution, regulation provides a simple and accurate three-dimensional spatial distribution model of pollutants. Combined with data analysis of the urban area of different areas of heavy metal pollution to make a preliminary judgment. The data show that in the five types of cities, heavy soil pollution is the most serious in industrial areas. A method of imagination of the data analysis is boldly used and then combined with the distribution map, they found a source of pollution. For the spatial distribution of heavy metal elements, this paper uses EXCEL to calculate the data and MATLAB to map the data which showed a detailed and intuitive distribution map according to the distribution map can be analyzed in different areas of pollution; For the second question, this paper uses a method of design to deal with the data, part of the data for the results of the more effective show to determine the cause of pollution. For the third question, this article will be more serious pollution or a wider range of local screening, analysis, and then speculate the location of pollution sources. For other pollution information, this article is based on the modeling process encountered in the thought of the factors given.
Heavy metal contaminated soil due to industrial, agricultural and municipal activities is becoming a global concern. Heavy metals severely affect plants, animals and human health. A suitable technology is necessary for heavy metals removal because it cannot self-decomposition as organic compounds. Among the various technologies surveyed, phytoremediation is one of the safest, most innovative, environmental friendly and cost-effective approach for heavy metals removal. Nevertheless, traditional phytoremediation practices pose some limitations such as long processing time, unstable treatment efficiency and limited application at large scale. In many methods proposed to improve phytoremediation, integrated phytoremediation has been studied in the recent years. Integrated phytoremediation use chelating agents and phytohormones to enhance phytoremediation. This is an environmentally safe, saving time and relative high effective method. Results showed that the association of a metal ion and a chelating agent to form chelates helps to maintain the availability of metals in the soil for the uptake of plants. Phytohormones supply nutrients for the soil to support vegetable growth. Therefore, integrated phytoremediation is a promising solution to overcome the disadvantages of conventional phytoremediation. It should be taken commercialization and need more applied projects in this field to demonstrate and clarify the real potential of this technology. In view of above, this manuscript reviews the mechanism and the efficiency of integrated phytoremediation for heavy metals in contaminated soil to give an overview of this technology.
Afforestation is a main tool for preventing desertification and soil erosion in arid and semiarid regions of Iran. Large-scale afforestation, however, has poorly understood consequences for the future ecosystems in the term of ecosystems protection. The objective of the present study is to identify changes in soil properties following different intervals of planting of Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven) in semiarid afforestation of Iran (Chitgar Forest Park, Tehran). For this purpose, sand, silt and clay ratios, bulk density, soil moisture, pH, electrical conductivity, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, total soil N, and total carbon was measured. Our study highlighted the potential of the invasive trees by A. altissima, to alter soil properties along chronosequence. Almost all soil quality attributes showed a declining trend with stand age. A continuous decline in soil quality indicated that the present land management may not be sustainable. Therefore, an improved management practice is imperative to sustain soil quality and maintain long-term productivity of plantation forests. Thinning activity will be required to reduce the number of trees competing for the same nutrients especially in a older stand to protect forest soils.
Soil and groundwater remediation Act was enacted in year 2000. More than ten years has already passed, Monitoring project has been completed,pollution status has been defined,contaminated sites depollution have been launched,a great progress has been made. This paper majorly to depict the extensive farmland soil qauality monittoring which is unpredent in Taiwan and believe has never been done worldwide.
This project was initiated from February 8th, 2002 to August 8th, 2002. The project tasks including digitalization of cadastre, farmland listing, basic information collecting, field investigation, sampling & analysis planning, field sampling, soil sample analysis, data evaluation, suggestion of contaminated farmland control, and analysis of potential pollution sources and transfer routes.
2,251 soil samples,had been sampled from Chang-Hwa County, Yun-Lin County, Nan-Tao County, and Chia-Yi City, and been analyzed in this project. 44% of these samples concentration exceed the soil pollution control standard (Table 1), including 492 farmlands (125.65 ha registered) with total contaminated farming area of 108.38 ha in Chang-Hwa, and 6 farmlands (0.39 ha registered) with total contaminated farming area of 0.39 ha in Nan-Tao County. However, the concentration of samples from Ynu-Lin County and Chia-Yi City do not exceed the soil pollution control standard.
To coordinate with the investigation results of the relative project regarding to water and sediment quality of irrigation channels in Chang-Hwa area, the pollution sources are preliminary concluded to be the irrigation channels surrounding the farmlands in Chang-Hwa area. As to the Nan-Tao County, the abandoned brick furnace plants neighboring the farmland are suspected to be the pollution sources.
The results show that the soil of the investigation area in Chang-Hwa County is the most polluted. Base on the Geostatistics study and the distribution of the irrigation channels; the area neighboring the investigated farmland in this project is suspected being polluted. For the farmlands exceeding soil control standard, Geostatistics method is suggested to coordinate with the information of the irrigation system to clarify the contaminated area so as to be the basis of land control and remediation work. As to the farmlands, not being investigated in this project but with high pollution potential according to the Geostatistics study, detail investigations are suggested. Regarding to soil pollution remediation, it is suggested to coordinate with the effluent control and irrigation channel remediation to achieve an all-out success.
Soil and groundwater remediation act has been enacted and executed since year 2000 in Taiwan. It has been ten good years till today where lots of remediation techniques progressively employed to improve Taiwan soil and groundwater resource quality. Regulatory agencies, academia, remediation consulting firms, on-site professional engineers all have contribute the proud ten years in terms of soil and groundwater clean-up contribution. However, some of technologies were un-environmental friendly even detrimental and damage to Taiwan precious soil and groundwater resources. In Article one of the current Taiwan soil and groundwater Act, it clearly stated that soil is a precious nature resources. Soil definitely is not a waste, shame on us most of current most commonly employed remediation are unlawful and merely aiming to save time and money consideration without any care to our land. Dig-and-dump and soil acid washing are damaged employed in almost every single local environment agency soil clean-up project. Lot of money, effort and time has been spent during past ten years. Most of the spending is not improving soil quality using Green approach.
