Accumulation of caesium
-
In this study the earthworm Eisenia andrei and sunflower dwarf sensation (Helianthus annuus) were used as tools to accumulate Pb and stable Cs. The aim of this study was to evaluate bioremediating Cs and Pb in contaminated soils using the selected biota. The efficacy of this bioremediation was evaluated using integrated soil microcosms (ISM)–a multispecies mini ecosystem with soil contaminated with Cs alone at 25 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg; Pb alone (1500 mg/kg) and Pb (1500 mg/kg) together with Cs (250 mg/kg) in the laboratory.
