Phytokinetics provides comprehensive soil and groundwater phytoremediation services, including: Consulting. Site-specific recommendations for phytoremediation depending on soil, water, and contaminant analyses, climatic data, remedial objectives, and other site-specific factors. Treatability Assessment. Greenhouse and laboratory experiments to determine phytotoxicity, ecotoxocological effects, plant tolerance to contaminants and/or the ability to meet remedial objectives. Project Design and Installation. Selection and installation of appropriate plant species and necessary system components, including irrigation systems and monitoring devices. Monitoring and Data Analysis. Assessment of plant health and system effectiveness by monitoring and analyzing climatic data, plant water use, and contaminants (and their byproducts) in soil and water.
