CONTAM<strong>IN</strong>ANT MEDIUM PROCESS CONCENTRATION 1<br />

HMX <strong>Water</strong> Phytodegradation 1,250 to 4,440 ppb TNT and 3,250 to<br />

9,200 ppb total nitrobodies (TNT, RDX,<br />

HMX, TNB, 2A-DNT, 4A-DNT)<br />

PLANT 2<br />

RESULTS/NOTES<br />

Emergent aquatic plants: canary grass<br />

(Phalaris arundinacea), wool grass<br />

(Scirpus cyperinus), sweetflag (Acorus<br />

calamus), parrotfeather (Myriophyllum<br />

aquaticum)<br />

ESTCP, 1999<br />

REFERENCE<br />

An ex-situ gravel-based system with aquatic plants removed total nitrobodies to goal <strong>of</strong> 10<br />

ppm.<br />

Kochia sp. Anderson et al., 1994<br />

Enhanced biodegradation <strong>of</strong> atrazine occurred in soil collected from the rhizosphere.<br />

Phytodegradation Unspecified: 48.3 g atrazine in less<br />

than 270 mL solution was used in the<br />

hydroponic reactor.<br />

Hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides × nigra<br />

DN34, Imperial Carolina)<br />

Burken and Schnoor, 1999<br />

There was no volatilization <strong>of</strong> atrazine from the poplars. 53.3% <strong>of</strong> the applied atrazine was taken up into the plant. The<br />

largest percentage <strong>of</strong> atrazine taken up was found in the leaves.<br />

Surface water Phytodegradation 200 g/L Aquatic plants: coontail or hornwort<br />

(Ceratophyllum demersum), American<br />

elodea or Canadian pondweed (Elodea<br />

canadensis), common duckweed (Lemna<br />

minor)<br />

Rice et al., 1997a<br />

After 16 days, atrazine concentrations were significantly reduced in presence <strong>of</strong> Ceratophyllum demersum (41.3% <strong>of</strong> applied<br />

atrazine remained) and Elodea canadensis (63.2% <strong>of</strong> applied atrazine remained) but not in unvegetated system or in presence<br />

<strong>of</strong> Lemna minor (85% <strong>of</strong> applied atrazine remained).
