It has been established that quarry mining site polluted and contaminated it's environment with heavy metals, these affects the crops and vegetables planted in the area. The possible solutions to remove the heavy metals and other pollutes from the crops and soils? What can one do to remove pollution's from the surrounding and make it habitable for humanity. Thanks
Identify some heavy metals tolerant microbes by studying the culture -dependent microbes from such contaminated soils , identify their tolerance in-vitro and finally inoculate them for field response of vegetables to compare the microbially loaded soils versus control soils ....
Use the root grafting and use Mycorrhiza and (PGPMs).
Watermelon grafting on gourd reduces the metal toxicity of vanadium in watermelon products and stored in pumpkin roots. It is possible to prevent the entry of toxic metal into the product and to remove the metal from the soil by storing it in pumpkin roots.
You need to apply the suitable remediation/bioremediation technique depending on the type and levels of the heavy metals contamination.
That depends on the types of heavy metals elements found in this sits, it's mean should determine the heavy metals elements types to suggest the removal methods for it's.
I think the best way forward is to rehabilitate the area by planting first mature trees that can be used as timber which will absorb the metals. After the levels have reduced in the soils is when you can plant crops. For now it is not good.
