Abstract:

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the ubiquitous organic persistent pollutants in natural environments (especially in soil), giving serious potential risks to the ecoenvironment, plants, and human beings. At present, the remediation of PAHs-polluted soil is one of the hot topics in the research fields of soil and environment. Phytoremediation is one of the environmental restoration techniques with most potentiality. This paper reviewed the newest progress in the researches of the effects of soil PAHs pollution and its combined stress with other pollutants on the plant growth, morphological structure, photosynthesis, and antioxidant system, and prospected the important fields and hotspots of related researches in the future.
