Potential use of phreatophytes for passive management of groundwater seepage at landfill sites / Dale Van Stempvoort and Greg Bickerton.: En13-5/05-172E-PDF
"This review provides an assessment of the potential use of land-based phytoremediation to mitigate the seepage of leachate from landfills. Phytoremediation refers to a range of emerging biotechnologies in which green plants are used to remediate contaminated soil, sediments and/or water. Many of these biotechnologies have been introduced in the last decade and are still in the stage of development and/or demonstration. Phytoremediation approaches may provide cost-effective, “green” alternatives to expensive,energy-consumptive and disruptive conventional remediationtechnologies"--Introduction, page 1.
