The International Journal of Phytoremediation is
the first journal devoted to the publication of current
laboratory and field research describing the use of plant
systems to remediate contaminated environments. The journal
is a quarterly, international, peer reviewed publication
designed to link professionals in the many environmental
disciplines involved in the development, application,
management and regulation of emerging phytoremediation
technologies. The Association for Environmental Health
and Sciences. |

The Phytonet Newsgroup was developed to allow easy
worldwide communications between scientists who work on
problems related with Phytoremediation and Application
of Plant Systems to Environmental Control. Phytonet is
supported by the University of Parma, Department of Environmental
Sciences, Section of Environmental Biotechnologies. |

The Phytoremediation of Organics Action Team, established
in 1997, is one of the six active Action Teams under the
Remediation Technologies Development Forum (RTDF). The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created the
RTDF in 1992 to foster collaboration between the public
and private sectors in developing innovative solutions
to mutual hazardous waste problems. The Phytoremediation
of Organics Action Team includes representatives from
industry, government, and academia who share an interest
in further developing and validating the of use of plants
and trees to remediate organic hazardous wastes in soil
and water. |

The Cost 837 group had a goal to develop and evaluate,
at the European level, new, soft, appropriate and efficient
biological processes, based on the use of higher plants
and agronomic techniques to remove, contain or render
harmless toxic metals and recalcitrant organic pollutants
in wastewaters and sites heavily impacted by industrial,
mining or urban activities. |

The main purpose of this web site is to allow viewing
of animated results of groundwater flow modeling in
support of the 317/319 Area phytoremediation program at
Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois. Good graphics,
and photos of tree study from planting on, ground and
aerial shots. |

Journal of Environmental Sciences (JES) is the
only journal published in English in the field of environmental
sciences in China. With the rapid development of Chinese
economics in recent years, environmental pollution in
China is not only a crucial issue in China but becomes
now a global concern. |

EUGRIS
is a web based user-friendly information platform for
soil and
water information, with an initial focus on contaminated
land and
groundwater which is slowly being extended to wider
soil and water topics.
EUGRIS allows all stakeholders from industry, administration
and research
equal access to information of high quality from a single
point of access.
|
There
is a huge global push to developing sustainable strategies
of operation in industry. The minerals industry, who are
likely to have the most significant impact on the survival
metallophytes, are attempting to improve both their social
and environmental policies.

The
Global Mining Initiative brings together many of
the world's largest mining and minerals companies. This
leadership exercise aims to ensure that an industry
which is essential to the well-being of a changing world
is responsive to global needs and challenges.

International
Council on Mining and Metals Mission Statement: "To
be the clear and authoritative global voice of the world's
mining and metals industries, developing and articulating
their sustainable development case, discovering and promoting
best practice on sustainable development issues within
the industries and acting as the principal point of engagement
with the industries for stakeholders at the global level.
To assist the industries to align their economic, social
and environmental goals so as to maximise their contribution
to meeting the challenges of sustainable development" |

Convention on Biological Diversity At the 1992
Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, world leaders agreed
on a comprehensive strategy for "sustainable development"
-- meeting our needs while ensuring that we leave a
healthy and viable world for future generations. One
of the key agreements adopted at Rio was the Convention
on Biological Diversity. This pact among the vast majority
of the world's governments sets out commitments for
maintaining the world's ecological underpinnings as
we go about the business of economic development. The
Convention establishes three main goals: the conservation
of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its
components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the
benefits from the use of genetic resources.
