Research group Group Greger

We are investigating the possibility of cleaning soil and water from heavy metals and PFAS using plants, so-called phytoremediation. We also investigate how we can reduce the cadmium and arsenic content in food crops by the use of phytoremediation and silca.

Furthermore we investigate silica fertilization reducing pine weevil attacts on spruce and pine plants.

Ongoing projects 
Uptake of silica nanoparticles in plant tissue.
Water remediation from PFAS using aquatic plants
Silicon fertilizer from silica hyperaccumulating horse tail plants 

Finished projects
Silicon uptake from bioashes in pine and spruce plants 
The influence of silicon on cadmium, arsenic and molybdenum accumulation in food and fodder crops
Phytoremediation of industrial contaminated land using Salix
Phytoremediation with Salix to reduce cadmium content in wheat grains
Purification of stormwater from heavy metals and chlorine, including wetland plants
Silica reduces pine weevil attacks in pine and spruce
