Possibility of ecological remediation of oil production territories with the use of industrial hemp

Abstract

Variants of fulfilling the technologies of phytoremediation are considered, which propose to plant oil-contaminated territories with vegetation with microbial communities in its rhizosphere characterized with high microbial content, and at the same time with high emulsifying properties. A list of plants for phytoremediation is given. In the context of the northern territories of the Irkutsk Region, a possibility to use industrial hemp as a plant for phytoremediation of oil-contaminated soils is demonstrated. The composition of the oil-contaminated soils with regard to the distance from a drilling rig is studied. Depending on the level of contamination, the germinating ability of the industrial hemp seeds is assessed.
