Vandenhove, H., Duquène, L., Tack, F., Baeten, J., & Wannijn, J. (2001). Testing the potential of enhanced phytoextraction to clean up norm contaminated soils. Int. J. Phytor., 3, 301-320.
Abstract. The aim of present study is to test the efficiency of three organic acids (citric acid, mixture of citric acid-ammonium citrate and oxalic acid) and two chelates (EDDS and NTA) in increasing the phytoextraction potential of U and a heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn) from soils with enhanced NOR levels.
Luginbühl, M., Bekaert, B., Suesse, S., & Weinmann, W. (2019). Detox shampoos for EtG and FAEE in hair–Results from in vitro experiments. Drug testing and analysis, 11(6), 870-877.
Abstract. The assessment of alcohol consumption behavior in hair is well established in forensic toxicology. The Society of Hair Testing (SoHT) recommends the direct alcohol markers ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) for the detection of past alcohol consumption. In this study, we investigated if detox shampoos which are sold online can have an impact on EtG or FAEE concentrations in hair.
Vandevivere, P., Hammes, F., Verstraete, W., Feijtel, T., & Schowanek, D. (2001). Metal decontamination of soil, sediment, and sewage sludge by means of transition metal chelant [S, S]-EDDS. Journal of Environmental Engineering, 127(9), 802-811.
Abstract. The biodegradable strong transition metal chelant [S,S] stereoisomer of ethylenediamine disuccinate was investigated for its applicability for the washing extraction of heavy metals from soil, sewage sludge, and harbor sediment
Finzgar, N., Kos, B., & Lestan, D. (2005). Heap leaching of lead contaminated soil using biodegradable chelator [S, S]-ethylenediamine disuccinate. Environmental technology, 26(5), 553-560.
Abstract. The feasibility of heap leaching Pb contaminated soil using biodegradable chelator [S,S]-ethylenediamine disuccinate ([S,S]-EDDS) in concentrations ranging from 10 to 40 mmol kg−1 was assessed in a laboratory study.
Kos, B., & Leštan, D. (2004). Chelator induced phytoextraction and in situ soil washing of Cu. Environmental Pollution, 132(2), 333-339.
Abstract. In a soil column experiment, we investigated the effect of 5 mmol kg−1 soil addition of citric acid, ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA), diethylenetriamine-pentaacetate (DTPA) and [S,S]-stereoisomer of ethylenediamine-disuccinate (EDDS) on phytoextraction of Cu from a vineyard soil with 162.6 mg kg−1 Cu, into the test plant Brassica rapa var. pekinensis.
Ullmann, A., Brauner, N., Vazana, S., Katz, Z., Goikhman, R., Seemann, B., ... & Gozin, M. (2013). New biodegradable organic-soluble chelating agents for simultaneous removal of heavy metals and organic pollutants from contaminated media. Journal of hazardous materials, 260, 676-688.
Abstract. Advanced biodegradable and non-toxic organic chelators, which are soluble in organic media, were synthesized on the basis of the S,S-ethylenediamine-disuccinate (S,S-EDDS) ligand.
Almendros, P., Obrador, A., Gonzalez, D., & Alvarez, J. M. (2015). Biofortification of zinc in onions (Allium cepa L.) and soil Zn status by the application of different organic Zn complexes. Scientia Horticulturae, 186, 254-265.
Abstract. A pot experiment was conducted to determine the influence of different natural and synthetic organic Zn complexes on the agronomic biofortification of onion (Allium cepa L.) in two types of soil: Soilacid (weakly acidic) and Soilcalc (calcareous). Eight different organic Zn complexes were administered at two different Zn application rates.
Mishra, S. R., Chandra, R., & Prusty, B. (2020). Chelate-assisted phytoaccumulation: growth of Helianthus annuus L., Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek and Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. in soil spiked with varied concentrations of copper. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 27(5), 5074-5084.
Abstract. There has been an increased realization on the role of chelates in accelerating metal uptake by plants. Thus, the present study examined the influence of different soil fractions, spiked metal concentrations and chelate dosages on Cu accumulation by Helianthus annuus L. (common sunflower), Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek (mung bean) and Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. (pearl millet).
Jaworska, J., Van Genderen-Takken, H., Hanstveit, A., van de Plassche, E., & Feijtel, T. (2002). Environmental risk assessment of phosphonates, used in domestic laundry and cleaning agents in the Netherlands. Chemosphere, 47(6), 655-665.
Abstract. As a part of that project the environmental risk assessment of HEDP, ATMP, EDTMP and DTPMP phosphonates used in detergent applications has been carried out according to the EU Technical Guidance Document for Environmental Risk Assessment for New and Existing Chemicals.
