Ağır Metaller ile Kirlenmiş Toprağın İyileştirilmesinde Vetiver Grass (Vetiveria zizanioides (Linn.) Nash) ve Solucanların Kullanılması

Abstract

Quality of life and environment of the world are inseparable. Nowadays, organic and inorganic contamination produces major problems on the environment and human health. People-oriented heavy metal usage has increased due to urbanization and industrial development. Heavy metals have negative impacts on the soil and water, blending into the food chain. Powerful and effective techniques for treating contaminated soil and water have been developed in recent years. It is important that these techniques are appropriate, effective and eco-friendly. Therefore phytoremediation and bioremediation techniques in the studies and literatures take an important place. With this study, phytoremediation and bioremediation will be informed about topics that used as removal of heavy metals activities on water, soil and environment. In addition, worldwide known and phytoremediation plants Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides (Linn.) Nash) were discussed to use for removal of heavy metal contamination. Then bioremediation organisms earthworms were discussed to use for purified of heavy metal contamination.
