BIOAUGMENTATION AND PLANT-BASED BIOSTIMULATION FOR PETROLEUM HYDROCARBON DEGRADATION IN MANGROVE SEDIMENTS

Evolution of oil spill remediation technologies from conventional to emerging solutions

Oil spills pose significant environmental and socioeconomic challenges in marine and terrestrial ecosystems, where petroleum hydrocarbons can adversely affect aquatic organisms, coastal habitats, and farmland food products. This review provides an evolutionary overview of oil spill remediation technologies, from conven...

METHODS OF BIOREMEDIATION OF SOILS CONTAMINATED WITH HEAVY METALS DUE TO MILITARY ACTIVITIES

A Review of Phytoremediation of Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil Using Legumes and Cereal Crops

Hydrocarbon contamination of soil is a significant environmental challenge that results from industrial activities, oil spills, and improper waste disposal. Phytoremediation, the use of plants to remediate polluted environments, has emerged as an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution. Legumes and cereal crops play a...

Micro and nanoplastic pollution in agricultural soils: effects on rhizosphere processes and phytotoxicity

Microplastic and nanoplastic (MPs/NPs) pollution is a major environmental threat affecting ecosystems and human health. Soils contain higher levels of MPs/NPs than oceans, underscoring the urgent need for improved plastic waste management in agriculture. Studies show that MPs/NPs disrupt the rhizosphere by altering soi...

Use of bacterial preparations for bioremediation of polluted desert areas in the Turkestan Region

Research shows that bioproducts can reduce the concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil by 70-90% within several months, even under harsh climatic conditions and at low temperatures.

Constructed wetlands for petroleum refinery wastewater treatment: a state-of-the-art review.

Constructed wetland systems provide an economically viable and sustainable approach compared to the traditional technologies for the treatment of petroleum hydrocarbons contaminated wastewater, an important issue for the oil industry worldwide. This paper collects the last decade of research on the effectiveness of CWs...
