We are pleased to welcome Jūratė Žaltauskaitė, PhD., Associate Professor at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Vytautas Magnus University (Lithuania), as an Erasmus+ guest lecturer who will deliver a lecture titled: Soil heavy metal contamination effects on living organisms and bioremediation options: research at Vytautas Magnus University
Metal pollution is considered as one of the most serious problems worldwide and has significant environmental and human health impact. Since chemicals never occur alone in nature, living organisms are usually exposed to mixtures of metals rather than a single metal. During the lecture single and metal mixture impact on soil dwelling organisms will be discussed. The contaminated soil remediation potential using plants and earthworms will be analysed.
