Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Both sunflower species completed their cycles in most treatments, except at high concentrations of fireplace ash and oil burner dust.
- Observation Helianthus annuus showed higher resistance and growth rates.
- Observation Effective phytoremediation threshold for fireplace ash is at or below 4.4 kg m-3.
- Observation Effective phytoremediation threshold for forge dust is at or below 1.1 kg m-3.
- Observation Effective phytoremediation threshold for land of Milos mixed with olive core is at or below 2.2 kg m-3.
- Observation Helianthus giant was effective at lower waste concentrations.
- Observation Helianthus giant was unsuitable for oil burner dust remediation.
- Recommendation The authors state that risk mitigation is essential to keep bioaccumulated contaminants out of the food chain via sunflower tissues or products.
