Phytoremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals: techniques and strate...
Pinto, A.P.; de Varennes, A.; Fonseca, R.; Martins Teixeira, D.Environmental pollution by heavy metals and metalloids has become a severe problem worldwide, as soils became increasingly contaminated, posing a threat to ecosystems and ultimately to human health. The decision to remediate a soil depends on the present and future value of the soil, the cost of remediation, the risk posed by the soil, and the perception of that risk by the population and decision-makers. Tradi...
Degradation of terbuthylazine, difenoconazole and pendimethalin pesticides by s...
Pinto, A.P.; Serrano, C.; Pires, T.; Dias, L.; Martins Teixeira, D.; Caldeira., A. T.Contamination of waters by xenobiotic compounds such as pesticides presents a serious environmental problem with substantial levels of pesticides now contaminating European water resources. The aim of this work was to evaluate the ability of the fungi Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus oryzae, Lentinula edodes, Penicillium brevicompactum and Lecanicillium saksenae, for the biodegradation of the pesticides terbuthy...
Evaluation of carbamazepine uptake and metabolization by Typha spp., a plant wi...
Dordio, A. V.; Belo, M.; Martins Teixeira, D.; Palace, A.J.; Dias, C.M.B.; Pico, Y.; Pinto, A.P.Phytoremediation technologies such as constructed wetlands have shown higher efficiencies in removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewaters than conventional wastewater treatment processes, and plants seem to have an important role in the removal of some of those compounds. In this context, a study was conducted to assess tolerance, uptake, and metabolism of the epilepsy drug, carbamazepine, by the macrophyte Typh...
