The influence of soil pollution by oil products on plant growth

The main sources of soil pollution due to the development of oil and gas fields are analyzed. It is shown that the main sources of oil products entering the soil are sludge accumulators and drilling barns. A new construction of a drilling barn and a scheme of reclamation of the existing ones are proposed. The implementation of such developments will minimize the ingress of oil-containing fluids into the soil and increase the level of environmental safety of oil and gas development processes.

Military Activity

Recently environmental pollution became a problem of a special significance. Removal of pollutants from territories suffering from intensive use in the past and at present attracts major concern. Extensive pollution of the soil with materials of organic origin (oil and its products) was detected in the areas of the former military bases of different operation types. The surface soil is the first natural system to be directly affected by any level of pollution and it accumulates pollutants. Water dissolves and washes out materials from the soil saturated with oil hydrocarbons and it is also polluted with oil products. The present paper describes the evaluation of environmental pollution caused by military activity in the operating Rukla‐Gaižiūnai Military Training Ground. After investigation of soil pollution with oil products was performed, it was possible to analyse particularly the present soil condition and assess the most contravened places referring to the obtained results.

Assisted Phytoremediation

Metal(loid) soil pollution resulting from past and present mine activities is a serious environmental and health issues worldwide. Therefore, the remediation of those polluted areas has been a growing research interest over the last decades, especially the assisted phytoremediation. In this study, a pot experiment was set up, using a former mine technosol, highly polluted by As and Pb, to which biochar, activated carbon, or ochre was applied, alone or in combination to clover green amendment. Following amendment application, Populus x. canescens cuttings were planted. Results showed that all four amendments reduced soil acidity. However only the first three amendments immobilized As and Pb, while the green amendment drastically mobilized those two pollutants and none of the amendments improved plant growth. In conclusion, the association of clover green amendment to biochar, activated carbon, or ochre did not appear as an efficient remediation strategy in this case; although the aging of the amendments and degradation of the green amendment in the soil with time could have positive outcomes.

The aim of the study was to investigate the features of soil pollution in the sanitary protection zone of Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery and distribution of soil contaminants depending on the distance from the refinery. There were determined that the main contaminants are oil products, volatile phenols, some heavy metals. The content of oil products in soil was increased during 2014–2016. It was observed a decrease in the content of oil products with an increase in distance from 200 m to 1 000 m, but the all values were higher regional baseline content of these contaminants in soil.

The paper presents a comparative bioaccumulation study between the growth of chamomile (Matricaria Chamomilla L.) exposed to toxic metals (Cd, Ni and Pb) and the growth of same plant species unexposed to metals. The soil was contaminated within three independent experiments with Cd, Ni and Pb at the intervention threshold value for sensitive use. Each of the toxic metal was added by watering the seeds, and subsequently the germinated plants. The experiments targeted the effects of soil pollution on the growth of chamomile during three months period. The results showed that in the first month of the study, all three metals accumulated in plants. After the seeds germination and plant growth, high Cd concentration in chamomile plants was detected. Moreover, Ni and Pb were detected in soil in the percentage of 96%. Overall, it was observed that chamomile plants were Cd accumulators at the tested concentrations of 6 mg/kg with no phytotoxic effects. Matricaria Chamomilla L. could be used in phytoremediation of polluted soils, with limitations of use for human consumption, except for the extracts.

Ethylene Signalling

Ethylene is the simplest unsaturated hydrocarbon, yet it has profound effects on plant growth and development, including many agriculturally important phenomena. Analysis of the mechanisms underlying ethylene biosynthesis and signalling have resulted in the elucidation of multistep mechanisms which at first glance appear simple, but in fact represent several levels of control to tightly regulate the level of production and response. Ethylene biosynthesis represents a two-step process that is regulated at both the transcriptional and post-translational levels, thus enabling plants to control the amount of ethylene produced with regard to promotion of responses such as climacteric flower senescence and fruit ripening. Ethylene production subsequently results in activation of the ethylene response, as ethylene accumulation will trigger the ethylene signalling pathway to activate ethylene-dependent transcription for promotion of the response and for resetting the pathway. A more detailed knowledge of the mechanisms underlying biosynthesis and the ethylene response will ultimately enable new approaches to be developed for control of the initiation and progression of ethylene-dependent developmental processes, many of which are of horticultural significance.
