The impact of soil contamination by oil products on the growth of Secale cereale L. and prospects for its use in phytoremediation

Abstract

In the paper the effect of soil contamination by light and dark oil products on a rye (Secale cereale L.) and the prospects of using the plants with phytoremediation have been evaluated. Residual hydrocarbon oil concentration in the soil has been determined, phytoremediation may conduct not more than 5 g/kg of light and not more than 13 g/kg of dark oil
