Optimized Phytoremediation Process for the Sustainable Management of Radionuclides
Open accessAbstract
Anita Jaswal, Arshdeep Singh, Shimpy Sarkar and Maninder Singh Heavy metal contamination has increased because of rapid industrialization, rising industrial waste, increasing agricultural inputs, and mining. Radionuclides were unconfined into the geo environment because of authorized nuclear waste discharge, nuclear weapons testing, and other activities. The environment is contaminated by a range of metals, including radionuclides, that can disrupt biogeochemical cycles, in all its components, including the air, water, and soil.

Reducing Cr(VI) to Cr(III) achieves Cr immobilization and reduces its bioavailability and toxicity.
“Another example is reducing Cr (VI) to Cr(III) to achieve Cr immobilization and reduce its bioavailability and toxicity (Houben et al. 2012;Jaswal et al. 2023).”
From Sustainable management of post-phytoremediation biomass (2025) · cites this paper as Jaswal et al. 2023
The Accumulation of Biochar section (page unavailable) says biochar can immobilize soil contaminants and reduce their bioavailability and phytotoxicity. However, searches for Cr(VI), Cr(III), chromium reduction, and redox reactions found no passage linking reduction of Cr(VI) to those effects; the general biochar statement does not establish the claimed mechanism. (LLM, conf=0.75)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMore hydrophobic contaminants (log Kow > 3) tend to adhere between the cell membrane and the cell wall, making it difficult to enter the cell membrane.
“In addition, more hydrophobic contaminants (log K ow [ 3) tend to adhere between the cell membrane and the cell wall, making it difficult to enter the cell membrane (Edgar et al. 2021;Jaswal et al. 2023).”
From Sustainable management of post-phytoremediation biomass (2025) · cites this paper as Jaswal et al. 2023
The Phytoremediation strategies section (page unavailable) says contaminants can be absorbed into the lignin of root cell walls, but does not connect this to hydrophobicity or difficulty entering the cell membrane. Searches for log Kow and for hydrophobic contaminants partitioning between the wall and membrane found no passage addressing the claimed mechanism or threshold. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
