Assessment of potential bioremediation of heavy metals found in treated wood by ectomycorrhizal and wood-decay fungi in pure culture and the bioremoval of fruiting bodies

Creator:

Donnelly, Johanna

Abstract:

Treated wood commodities disposed of in landfills contain chemicals that can migrate into the environment. Wood treatments such as ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate (ACZA) contain heavy metals which prevent the biological degradation of wood. These metals can migrate out of treated wood into soil or groundwater, posing environmental hazards. This...
