Information on the internet relating to phytoremediation--an innovative technology for remediating sites contaminated withhazardous substances:

Introduction

• Alfalfa plants and associated microorganisms promote biodegradation rather than volatilization of roganic substances from ground water, Davis, L.C., Muralidharan, N. Visser, V.P., Chaffin, C., Fateley, W.G., Erickson, L.E., and Hammaker, R.M., in Bioremediation Through Rhizosphere Technology, T.A. Anderson and J.R. Coats, Eds., ACS Symposium Series No. 563 Washington D.C., pp. 112-122, 1994.

• 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.

• Effects of climatological variability on the performance of vegetative systems in remediateing contaminated soil, Tracy, J.C., Ramireddy, H., Erickson, L.E., and Davis, L.C., Proceedings of the Air and Waste Management Association, 87th Meeting, Paper No. 94-WA86.01, 1994.

• 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.

• Modeling the effects of plants on the bioremediation of contaminated soil and ground water, Davis, L.C., Erickson, L.E., Lee, E., Shimp, J.F., and Tracy, J.C., Environmental Progress, Vol. 12, No. 1, pp. 67-75, 1993.

• Monitoring the Beneficial Effects of Plants in Bioremediation of Volatile Organic Compounds, L.C. Davis, C. Chaffin, N. Muralidharan, V.P. Visser, W.G. Fateley, L.E. Erickson and R.M. Hammaker, Proceedings of the Conference on Hazardous Waste Research, pp. 236-250, Kansas State University, May 25-26, 1993

• Monitoring Plant Bioremediation of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Using Open Path Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectrometry, R.M. Hoffman, V.P. Visser, L.C. Davis, L.E. Erickson, N. Muralidharan, R.M. Hammaker, and W.G. Fately, Proceedings of the Conference on Hazardous Waste Remediation, (in press) 1994.

• 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.

• Using vegetation to enhance in situ bioremediation, Erickson, L.E., Banks, M.K., Davis, L.C., Schwab, A.P., Muralidharan, N., Reilley, K., and Tracy, J.C., Environmental Progress, (in press), 1994.

• Vegetative remediation of superfund sites, Pierzynski, G., Schnoor, J., Banks, M.K., Tracy, J.C., Licht, L.A., and Erickson, L.E., in Mining and its Environmental Impact, R.E. Hester and R.M. Harrison Eds., Royal Society of Chemistry, Cambridge, UK, pp. 49-69, 1994.

Phytorem mailing list

The Phytoremediation mailing list is for the discussion of research and development of phytoremediation (the use of plants to remediate contamination). Topics relevant to the list include:

• uptake of ground water and contaminants by plants;
• enhanced microbial activity in the rhizosphere;
• fate and transport of contaminants in plant root zones;
• phytotoxicity and revegetation in contaminated soils;
• transpiration and its effect on ground water flow; and
• fate of contaminants in plants after uptake.

To subscribe to the phytoremediation list, send mail to

In the body of the email, write: subscribe phytorem

inserting your email address, without the <> characters.

You can also email

and put "help" in the body of the email for a complete listing of commands.

Questions, comments, bug reports, etc. should be sent to:
