Investigations of boron pollution at the Institute for Soil Sciences

Based on previous research examining the effects of irrigation water with a high boron content, researchers of Institute for Soil Sciences participated in writing a review paper on boron in collaboration with Nanthi Bolan, professor at The University of Western Australia (Perth). The paper provides information on the potential boron pollution, the fate, transformation and role of boron in plant metabolism, as well as the options for mitigating boron pollution.

Researchers of Institute for Soil Sciences analyzed the distribution of boron in the soil, as well as the remediation possibilities of soils with a high boron content. The article was published in the D1 journal Science of the Total Environment:
