Potential of using immobilizing agents in aided phytostabilization on simulated contamination of soil with lead. Ecological Engineering, 102, 490-500.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoleng.2017.02.028https://hdl.handle.net/11494/2916Lead (Pb) is one of the key heavy metals which have a significant influence on the individual components of the natural environment. A glasshouse pot experiment was designed to evaluate the potential use of different amendments as immobilizing agents in the aided phytostabilization of Pb-contaminated soil, using Lolium perenne L The research aimed to determine the influence of Pb in doses of 0, 100, 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg of soil, as well as diatomite, chalcedonite, dolomite, limestone, and activated carbon amendments on the content of trace elements in the above-ground parts and roots of L. perenne. The study utilised analysis of variance (ANOVA), principal component analysis (PCA) and Factor Analysis (FA). The content of trace elements in plants, pseudo-total and extracted by 0.01 M CaCl2, were determined using the method of spectrophotometry. All of the investigated element contents in the tested parts of L perenne were significantly different in the case of applying reactive amendments to the soil, as well as increasing concentrations of Pb. The greatest average above-ground biomass was observed when diatomite and chalcedonite were amended into the soil. Activated carbon, limestone and chalcedonite caused significant increases of Pb concentrations in the roots.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAided phytostabilizationMetal-contaminated soilSoil reclamationRisk minimizationRyegrassArticle10249050010.1016/j.ecoleng.2017.02.028Q1N/A
