Additional Resources

Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment Source Zone Treatment Web Site

The AFCEE Source Zone Treatment technology roadmap is intended to assist Air Force environmental managers in identifying and applying more effective methods for remediating and managing sites with contamination source zones. The web site offers a background on source zone remediation, the relevant issues, 'how-to' tools and knowledge, resources, links, and timely state-of-the-art technology reviews.

COST Action 837: Plant biotechnology for the removal of organic pollutants and toxic metals from wastewaters and contaminated sites

The COST (European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research) phytoremediation objective is to develop and evaluate, at the European level, new, soft, appropriate and efficient biological processes, based on the use of higher plants and agronomic techniques to remove, contain, or render harmless toxic metals and recalcitrant organic pollutants in wastewaters and sites heavily impacted by industrial, mining, or urban activities.

Michigan State University, Department of Forestry, East Lansing, MI. 92 pp, Feb 2005

Dendroremediation is the use of trees or woody plants to clean contaminated soil and water. Researchers in Michigan State University's Department of Forestry are collecting phytoremediation literature to develop a reference database.

Hazardous Substance Research Centers

Government-sponsored multi-university centers focus on different aspects of hazardous substance management. Phytoremediation research is especially strong at the Great Plains/Rocky Mountain HSRC.

International Phytotechnology Society

The International Phytotechnology Society (IPS) is a nonprofit, worldwide professional society comprised of individuals and institutions engaged in the science and application of using plants to deal with environmental problems. Abstracts from the International Phytotechnologies Conference are available on the site.

Phytoremediation Bibliography

A searchable database of over 1100 citations prepared by the EPA Phytoremediation Handbook Team in conjunction with the RTDF Phytoremediation of Organics Action Team.

Phytoremediation Mailing List sponsored by Kansas State University

This mailing list is for the discussion of research and development of phytoremediation.

Phytoremediation of Organics Action Team

Remediation Technologies Development Forum (RTDF). The Action Team's mission is to bring together technological, environmental, and regulatory interests to develop and demonstrate phytoremediation technologies that can clean up soils and ground water contaminated with organics, and to achieve regulatory and public acceptance of these technologies. The Team Meeting Summaries posted at the site contain information concerning ongoing phytoremediation demonstration projects.

TEKTRAN

A searchable database containing abstracts of recent research results from the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Information concerning ARS/USDA phytoremediation studies can be found there.

Technology Innovation News Survey
2004

The Technology Innovation News Survey contains market/commercialization information; reports on demonstrations, feasibility studies and research; and other news relevant to the hazardous waste community interested in technology development. This report is updated every two weeks.

Treatment Technologies for Site Cleanup: Annual Status Report (ASR), Twelfth Edition
EPA 542-R-07-012, 2007


The Twelfth Edition of this report, published by the EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI) in September 2007, documents treatment technology applications at more than 1,900 soil and groundwater cleanup projects at National Priorities List (NPL) sites. The status of more than 1,200 projects included in the ASR Eleventh Edition is updated, and information about 192 new projects derived from Records of Decision (ROD) signed from 2002 through 2005 is added. The report also includes a special section about on-site containment remedies. The ASR is based on the analysis of nearly 3,000 RODs signed since 1982 at 1,536 NPL sites. The online version includes new downloadable spreadsheets with the data for several of the key tables and figures in the report. Specific information about each technology application included in the ASR Twelfth Edition is available in the ASR Remediation Database.
