Overview:

Phytotechnologies use plants to clean or contain contaminants from soil, sediments, or water. Planted systems can degrade organic pollutants and extract heavy metals. Advancement has been made in the research to identify and optimize plant capability to reduce risk and enhance environmental benefit. This conference will present the state of science and engineering development in phytotechnologies worldwide. More specifically, the purpose of this conference is to understand which technologies using plants are currently effective, how best to integrate research science and field applications, and what questions need further research.

Please visit the Midwest Hazardous Substance Research Center (MHSRC) website for more information about student lodging, poster application, exhibitors, and sponsors.
