Department of Landscape Architecture invites you to the public lecture of Dr. Werther Guigi Nissim (Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences - University of Milan-Bicocca)
Phytomanagement of environmental contaminants under Mediterranean and temperate climates.
Adverse environmental effects related to unsustainable development are compelling people to welcome recent advances in technology that rely on principles of sustainability.
The use of living plants to remove, degrade or stabilizing environmental pollutants (phytoremediation) is an emerging technology which shows high potential to remediate water and soil pollution. Here we present some examples of different field applications in temperate (Canada) and Mediterranean (Italy) environments, highlighting both positive traits and challenges that these green technologies demonstrate under real field conditions.
The lecture will be held in English.
