Abstract:Rhizosphere is a soil micro-eco-environment with properties different from non-rhizospheric soil and has an important effect on behavior of persistent organic pollutants in the soil and bio-remediation. Progresses have been made in research on rhizosphere remediation from persistent organic pollutants. From the angles of microbial degradation, plant process, non-biological degradation, soil adsorption, volatilization and leaching, the progresses in the research were summed up and approaches to the study on behavior of the persistent organic pollutants in the rhizosphere and their advantages and disadvantages reviewed, covering cell cultivation, addition of root exudates or debris to soil, collection of volatile contaminants and determination of residue contaminants.
