INTRODUCTION: The Phytonet Newsgroup was developed to allow
easy
worldwide communications between scientists who work on problems related
with
Phytoremediation and Application of Plant Systems to Environmental
Control.
A list of tentative contents includes:
- Application of plants to soil and water remediation (PCB, PAH,
removal);
- Phytoextraction from contaminated soils (heavy metals,
radionuclides
and xenobiotics);
- Treatment of waste waters (municipal, industrial);
- Monitoring of industrial plants, urban areas, railroad
systems;
- Physiology and metabolism of plants for environmental control;
- Taxonomy and genetic resources;
- Genetics and genetic engineering;
- Application of physico-chemical methods to study
phytoremediation;
- Education in the field of phytoremediation.
Is within the purpose of Phytonet also
- to bring together experts from industries, Universities and
Research
Institutions;
- to make available a list of publications, journals and books on
the
subject;
- to help young students and Post-Doc interested in
Phytoremediation to
find occasion for employment;
- to publish a quarterly bulletin containing short presentation
of the
activities developed by participants to Phytonet;
- to make tempestive reports of meeting, seminars, conferences
and
workshops concerning Phytoremediation;
- to present or introduce the work carried out by Research
Network
operating in Phytoremediation.
Phytonet is supported by the University of Parma, Department of
Environmental
Sciences, Section of Environmental Biotechnologies, but is saving the
possibility to make any application to National or International
Agencies or to
Private Funds for sponsorships.
Phytonet services are available to users free of charge.
