Abstract
Phytoremediation is a technology that uses plants to remove contaminants such as mercury from soil. This research examined phytoremediation as an option to remove mercury from mined out soils in the Puruni mining area, Mazaruni (Region VII). The study examined the phytoextractive capabilities of the Cassia alata (Carrion Crow Bush) and Cassia multijuga (False Sicklepod). Soil sampling was conducted to determine mercury levels at five mined out sites: Jubilee Creek Nos. 1 & 2, Chinese Creek, Tiger Creek, and the Takatu area. A tube auger and sieve were used to extract soil samples and remove debris.
