The world modernization, global development, maximum utilization of minerals and ruthless treatment of the environment by humans have created many environmental problems around the world, and Georgia is no exception.
One of the richest deposits in Georgia are in Bolnisi, where the RMG (formerly Madneuli) mine is functioning, located in Kazreti, on the right bank of the Mashavera River. Open-pit mining processes causes soil and water contamination, which do harms to human health and ecosystem. Remediation projects are necessary to be implemented. One of the effective remediation techniques is Phytoremediation, this method, where hyperaccumulator plants are used for cleaning up contaminated soil or water, is safe and efficient. During the research greenhouse experiments were carried out in Bolnisi to study Amaranthus Viridis phytoremediation potential. Cd, Cu and Zn were analyzed in the plant. According to the results Amaranthus Viridis phytoremediation ability was determined. |
