Sažetak
During the war in Croatia, a rocket hit one capacitor battery of the Electrical Transformer Station in Zadar (ETS). The oil containing PCBs was spilt over the surrounding soil. Our phyto remediation research field was located near the ETS and composed of ten remediation plots and four control plots. After one and two years of planting, many different plant species (mainly weeds) were grown in soil contaminated with PCBs. In the literature available, we have not found any data about PCB residues adsorbed on plant surfaces. Furthermore, even the data about cleaning plants before their analysis for PCBs were very scarce. This study was conducted to determine the level of PCBs adsorbed on plants and their roots surfaces and to investigate the level of PCBs inside plants and their roots by using two extraction methods performed step by step.
