Fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the phytoremediation of different hydrocarbon contaminated soils with cotton, ryegrass, tall fescue, and wheat
The findings confirm the potential of phytoremediation for PAH-contaminated soils, particularly using wheat as an effective species. The low RCFs and TSCFs suggest that PAH uptake was limited, implying that rhizodegradation and microbial interactions may play a more critical role than direct plant accumulation. This study supports phytoremediation as a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to conventional soil remediation methods, reducing economic and environmental burdens.
