Pot cultivation experiments were conducted to assess the phytoremediation potential of two local agronomic plants, namely Avena sativa and Vicia sativa. Several soils with long-standing contamination and different levels of Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination were used for this study. The soil samples came from different regions of Algeria and had different physico-chemical parameters. We studied the influence of these parameters on remediation potential of the two tested plants. The removal rate of the seven PCBs (PCB 28, 52, 101, 138, 153, 156 and 180) was examined after 40 and 90 days. The results showed that the presence of the plants reduced significantly the overall PCB content, ranging initially from 1.33–127.9 mg kg1. After 90 days, the forage plant Vicia sativa allowed us to reach an excess dissipation rate of 56.7% compared to the unplanted control for the most polluted soil. An average dissipation rate of 50% was obtained in the moderately polluted soil. The less contaminated soil had an excess dissipation rate of about 24% for both plants and a predominant dissipation of the low chlorinated PCBs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
