Objectives:
Chlorpyrifos [O,O-diethyl O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl)-phosphorothioate] is one of the most widely used organophosphate pesticides. Its massive application has led to the contamination of water and soil, and disruption of biogeochemical cycles, resulting in a risk to the ecological balance.
Diffusive gradient in thin films (DGT) and spectrometric methods for investigating the metals availability changes at the plant roots-soil interface,
Objectives:
The proposed project is mainly focused on developing experimental designs based on unconventional techniques (DGT (Diffusive Gradients in Thin-films) method combined with spectrometric methods) for studying the changes of metals mobility and speciation under influences of plant-soil system.
Assessment of interactions between the soil-metal partitioning patterns and metal availability to plants,
Objectives:
The project aims to evaluate several single and sequential extraction methods to determine the plant available metal fractions.
