Phytomanagement strategies of arsenic waste management with ferns, ornamentals, fungi, bacteria, and
mycorrhizae
Fig. 10
Use of arsenic accumulator plants (
Pteris vittata
,
Colocasia esculenta
, and
Cyperus
sp.) for arsenic removal
from contaminated water (Kurosawa et al.
2008
; Nakwanit et al.
2011
)
colonization by an AM fungus (
Glomus mosseae
)
on biomass and an arsenate uptake of an As
hyperaccumulator,
Pteris vittata
, has been reported
(Wu et al.
2009
). Arsenic- hyperaccumulating
fern,
P. vittata
(an important foliage ornamental),
was also used in the pilot-scale demonstration
phytofi ltration project to produce drinking quality
water from As-contaminated groundwater in
New Mexico, a classic example of service to
mankind (Elless et al.
2005
) (Figs.
9
and
10
).
