Svitlana Ushkats, Iryna Ushkats — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Today, scientists are still debating the dangerous impact of vegetable oil on aquatic ecosystems, equating them to oil. Ukraine lacks relevant regulatory documents confirming its negative impact on the environment. This situation is due to the lack of research and the bias of outdated information that oil is an organic substance and quickly decomposes in water. For the Mykolaiv region, this problem has been relevant since 2022, when, due to the terrorist actions of the aggressor, emergency leaks occurred, which caused large-scale pollution of natural reservoirs of the Mykolaiv region with corresponding consequences for biota.

MODERN SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF PHYTOREMEDIATION METHODS OF SOILS CONTAMINATED WITH HEAVY METALS

Andrii Fysiuk — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0300

Today, phytoremediation is considered one of the most environmentally friendly and cheap methods of soil restoration compared to physicochemical and technical methods, because the basis of phytoremediation processes is the ability of plants to accumulate, degrade, stabilize, transform and evaporate pollutants from a large number of natural matrices, in particular soil and water. Considering that already contaminated soils in Ukraine are further contaminated with fuel and lubricants, explosives, heavy metals and other hazardous substances due to military aggression, resulting in a deterioration of the state of agrobiocenoses and the ecosystem of the affected territory, the issue of modern scientific approaches to studying methods of phytoremediation of heavy metals in soils is becoming more relevant.
