Hi @lupafilotaxia,
Another great article. Wonderful information, good news in a week of dreadful events (in the U.S.).
How long does the process of phytoremediation take? I'm imagining that contamination may be of long duration or may be the result of a single catastrophic event. I'm imagining a 'natural' cleanup would take a while.
Thanks for this great information.

Greetings friend @agmoore
I have read something, about the delicate events in the United States, it is certainly terrible what is happening to them the scenario does not project well at all.
In relation to the consultation you make, I must indicate that there is no standard time or lapse, because to reach the process of phytostabilization, multiple variables intervene, namely: level of contamination of the water ecosystem, soil-climate conditions, phenological cycles and the removal capacity of the aquatic plant species. However, there are reports that indicate that the time in natural conditions to see positive results is located between 2 and 5 years, and the necessary period to phytostabilize and reach the phytostabilization is between 5 and 10 years.
Thank you for that information. It is still hopeful for our environment. At least there is a way back. It would be better of course, to avoid contamination in the first place :)
