Abstract
The intensive and long-term use of atrazine (ATZ) has led to the contamination of agricultural soils and non-target organisms, posing a series of threats to human health through the transmission of the food chain. In this study, a 60-day greenhouse pot experiment was carried out to explore the phytoremediation by Chrysopogon zizanioides L. (vetiver). The uptake, accumulation, distribution, and removal of ATZ were investigated, and the degradation mechanisms were elucidated. The results showed that the growth of vetiver was inhibited in the first 10 days of the incubation; subsequently, the plant recovered rapidly with time going. Vetiver grass was capable of taking up ATZ from the soil, with root concentration factor ranging from 2.36 to 15.55, and translocating to the shoots, with shoot concentration factor ranging from 7.51 to 17.52. The dissipation of ATZ in the rhizosphere soil (97.51%) was significantly higher than that in the vetiver-unplanted soil (85.14%) at day 60. Metabolites were identified as hydroxyatrazine (HA), deethylatrazine (DEA), deisopropylatrazine (DIA), and didealkylatrazine (DDA) in the samples of the shoots and roots of vetiver as well as the soils treated with ATZ. HA, DEA, DIA, and DDA were reported first time as metabolites of ATZ in shoots and roots of vetiver grown in soil. The presence of vetiver changed the formation and distribution of the dealkylated products in the rhizosphere soil, which remarkably enhanced the occurrence of DEA, DIA, and DDA. Arthrobacter, Bradyrhizobium, Nocardioides, and Rhodococcus were the major atrazine-degrading bacterial genera, which might be responsible for ATZ degradation in the rhizosphere soil. Our findings suggested that vetiver grass can significantly promote ATZ degradation in the soil, and it could be a strategy for remediation of the atrazine-contaminated agricultural soil.

Abstract
The long-term widespread application of atrazine poses significant threats to the eco-environment and human health. To investigate the potential of vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides L.) for phytoremediation of the environmental media contaminated by atrazine, an indoor incubation experiment was conducted in submerged soil over 30 days. Results showed that the chlorophyll level of the vetiver was not significantly affected by exposure to atrazine. Vetiver could take up and accumulate atrazine from submerged soil and peaked around the 20th day with a concentration of 1.0 mg kg-1 in leaf. The metabolites Hydroxyatrazine (HA), deethylatrazine (DEA), Deisopropylatrazine (DIA), and didealkylatrazine (DDA) were detected in the leaf on the 30th day, indicating vetiver could degrade atrazine inside the leaf tissue. The atrazine removal rate in the vetiver planted and unplanted jars were 69.72 and 60.29%, respectively, indicating that 9.43% higher atrazine removal was achieved in the presence of vetiver (p < 0.05). The atrazine dissipation in the submerged soil followed first-order kinetics, the degradation constant was 0.066, and the half-life of atrazine dissipation was shortened by 6.86 days in the presence of vetiver. The present study suggests that vetiver can take up atrazine from submerged soil and accumulate in the leaf, which could then degrade in the leaf.Novelty statement: Although the fate of atrazine in agricultural soils has been extensively investigated through various experiments, little is known about the effect of vetiver grass on atrazine dissipation from submerged soil. With the identification of soil-leaf transportation and four metabolites in vetiver leaf and soils, significantly accelerated atrazine dissipation from the submerged soil was achieved in the presence of vetiver. Particularly, the formation of less toxic dealkylated products in the leaf indicated vetiver is a promising grass for atrazine removal from submerged soil.

Abstract
Although many countries banned the insecticide endosulfan, it is still an environmental pollutant. Plants metabolize the two diastereomers of the formulations known as technical grade endosulfan (TGE) by two phase I pathways: hydrolysis leading to less toxic derivatives and oxidation giving endosulfan sulfate which is as toxic as endosulfan itself. We assessed the removal, bioaccumulation and phase I metabolization of TGE from water matrices using hairy root clones (HRs) of three edible species, Brassica napus, Raphanus sativus and Capsicum annuum. B. napus and C. annuum HRs removed 86% of TGE from the bioreaction media in 2 and 96 h, respectively, whereas R. sativus HRs removed 91% of TGE within 6 h of biotreatment. In the experiments with B. napus, only endosulfan sulfate was detected in both biomass and medium, whereas R. sativus and C. annuum accumulated endosulfan sulfate and endosulfan alcohol. Besides, endosulfan lactone was detected in C. annuum reaction medium. Acute ichthyotoxicity assays toward Poecilia reticulata showed that media contaminated with TGE lethal levels did not produce mortality after the phytotreatments. This research highlights the feasibility of using HRs to evaluate plant enzymatic abilities toward xenobiotics and their potential for the design of ex situ decontamination processes.

Accelerated remediation of organochlorine pesticide-contaminated soils with phyto-Fenton approach: a field study. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH 2020; 42:3597-3608.

Abstract
Phytoremediation and advanced oxidation processes are among the most promising techniques for removing organic pollutants from soils. A field trial was performed for six months to evaluate the effect of nano-Fe3O4 on the degradation of organochlorine pesticide residues including Lindane, p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), and p,p'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD) in pesticide-contaminated soils in the presence of vetiver in Bac Giang province, Vietnam. Vetiver was planted in three zones with different nano-Fe3O4 concentrations. Soil samples from each zone were periodically collected to determine the remaining concentrations of selected organochlorine pesticides via gas chromatography-electron capture detector. Results indicated that the total DDT concentrations in the examined soil were 1.9-13 times higher than the permissible threshold level (10 µg g-1) established by the national technical regulation on pesticide residues in soil. The (p,p'-DDE + p,p'-DDD)/p,p'-DDT ratios ranged from 13.5 to 114, indicating the absence of recent inputs of technical DDTs at the study area. DDT dechlorination mainly occurred under aerobic pathways to form DDE. Furthermore, DDE degradation in soil was adequately described by the pseudo-first-order kinetics model (R2 > 0.892). In the presence of vetiver, the rate constants of DDE degradation were 0.264, 0.350, and 0.434 month-1 with 0, 25, and 100 mg kg-1 of added nano-Fe3O4, respectively, indicating that the degradation of DDE correlated positively with Fe3O4 concentration in the soil. Additionally, the presence of vetiver and nano-Fe3O4 in the soil increased DDT removal rates, which might be linked to the involvement of Fenton/Fenton-like reactions.

Abstract
Rapid increase in industrialization of world economy in the past century has resulted in significantly high emission of anthropogenic chemicals in the ecosystem. The organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are a great risk to the global environment and endanger the human health due to their affinity for dispersion, transportation over long distances, and bioaccumulation in the food chain. Phytoremediation is a promising technology that aims to make use of plants and associated bacteria for the treatment of groundwater and soil polluted by these contaminants. Processes known to be involved in phytoremediation of OCPs include phytoaccumulation, rhizoremediation, and phytotransformation. Vegetation has been accounted to considerably amplify OCP elimination from soil, in contrast to non-planted soil, attributable to both, uptake within plant tissues and high microbial degradation of OCP within the root zone. Developing transgenic plants is a promising approach to enhance phytoremediation capabilities. Recent advances in the application of phytoremediation technique for OCPs, including uptake by plants and plant-microbe association in the rhizosphere for the enhanced degradation and mineralization of these pollutants, is presented in this review. Additionally, some attempts to improve this technique using transgenesis and role of certain enzymes are also discussed.

Abstract
In Burkina-Faso, urban vegetable agriculture is often characterized by urban solid waste fertilizer inputs containing heavy metals such as Cu and Cd. Thus, the relevance of surrounding urban vegetable plots with vetiver hedges to reduce environmental pollution by Cu and Cd was investigated by adsorption studies and pot experiments. Vetiver biomass, its metal contents and, its total and MgCl2 extractable soil metals were monitored over 6months in the presence of a mixture of metal at two concentrations: 2-10 and 100-500mgkg(-1), for Cd and Cu, respectively. The Freundlich adsorption coefficient (Kf) values increased after vetiver growth and were significantly higher for vertisol than for lixisol. After 6months, the vetiver that was grown on lixisol accumulated more metal, increasing up to 4635mgkg(-1) for Cu and to 21.8mgkg(-1) for Cd, than did the vetiver that was grown on vertisol, increasing up to 1534mgkg(-1) for Cu and to 7.2mgkg(-1) for Cd. The metal bioconcentration factor, which was significantly higher for Cd, increased with the applied concentration and ranged from 1.6 to 14 for Cu and from 2.3 to 22 for Cd. Additionally, the translocation factors were higher for Cd (0.38-7.3) than for Cu (0.07-2.6), and the translocation was easiest from lixisol than from vertisol. Thus our results demonstrate the ability of vetiver for Cu and Cd phytoremediation in Burkina Faso soils. Nevertheless, these results should be confirmed across the field to advocate the establishment of vetiver hedges.
