This work reports the preliminary results of a microcosm experiment in plant pots for evaluating sunflower capabilities in bioremediation of a soil contaminated by polychlorinated biphenyls PCBs and heavy metals HM , collected from an area close to Taranto Apulia Region, Southern Italy . Municipal solid waste compost of high quality was also used for evaluating the possible enhancement of plant assisted bioremediation. At the start of the experiment, chemical analyses of soil organic contaminants PCB total congeners and sum of tri tetra , penta , hexa , and epta CB isomeric classes together with PCB markers, dioxin like non dioxin like congeners and inorganic ones heavy metals such as Zn, Sn and Pb highlighted that regulatory limits were exceeded. The sunflower assisted bioremediation is in progress and further samplings will be performed at 45 and 90 days. 16th Conference on Sustainable development of Energy, water and Environment System, Dubrovnik, 10 15 October 2021, Book of Abstracts Ban M, Dui N, Schneider DR, Ancona V, Astiaso Garcia D, Barra Caracciolo A, Borello D, Buonomano A, Calise F, Cipollina A, Cortina J S, Cvelbar U, D Agostino D, De Palma P, Duraisamy G, Van Fan Y, Grenni P, Groppi D, Kalam Hossain A, Ieropoulos I, Kalogirou S, Jaromir Kleme I, Kova i Lukman R, Markides CN, Markowski M, Micale G, Mikul i H, Nastasi B, Palombo A, Pietrelli A, Puk ec T, Song J, Tamburini A, Trafczynski M, Urbaniec K, Vanoli L, Sabev Varbanov P, Vicidomini M, Vujanovi M, Zidan ek A Published version ISSN 1847 7178, FP_101 Capitolo Archivial paper pdf SDEWES21_FP_101_Ancona_sunflower.pdf Contributo in volume RASCIO IDA ROLANDO LUDOVICA VISCA ANDREA GARBINI GIAN LUIGI giorgiaaimola AIMOLA GIORGIA vitofelice.uricchio URICCHIO VITO FELICE vito.locaputo LOCAPUTO VITO anna.barracaracciolo BARRA CARACCIOLO ANNA paola.grenni GRENNI PAOLA valeria.ancona ANCONA VALERIA |
