IGSNRR Phytoremediation
Phytoremediation is an efficient way to solve the soil heavy
metal pollution:
Pteris vittata:
Super As accumulation
Large biomass
Perennial
(Wei et al., 1999; Chen et al. 2000)
Small investment, landscape friendly
IGSNRR Pteris vittata L. – As hyperaccumulator
strong ability to accumulate As (10000 mg/kg) The shoot As concentration was hundreds of thousands of times
higher than normal plants
huge biomass and fast growth (24 t/ha FW)
perennial once planted, several years of harvest

IGSNRR Phytoremediation of As
Contaminated Soil
Using hyperaccumulator P. vittata to extract As from soil.
Apply to farmland, suburbs, with large area and contaminants
accumulated in topsoil.
