Petroleum products can be released into the soil environment via spill, leakage, transport, or other incidents which adversely affect agricultural, residential or recreational land use [1]. Since oil pollution is a great environmental threat as it can pollute neighboring soil, surface and ground water, it may damage ecosystems and negatively affect health of plants, animals and human being [2,3]. Therefore, it’s a very important issue to control oil pollution in various environments and to remediate oil polluted sites as well.

Abstract: Zeoponic plant growth media is defined as cultivation of plants on enriched zeolite substrate which contains some of essential plant growth cations on their exchange sites. In addition to the cation exchange sites, the substrate contains minor amounts of other solid phase minerals supplying essential buffering ions, anions and micronutrients. Various types of zeoponic systems have been developed so far.

تالابهاي ايران از تالابهاي با اهميت بين المللي هستند که مساحتي حدود دو ميليون مترمربع از کل مساحت کشور را به خود اختصاص داده اند. هم اکنون در کشور بيش از يک هزار تالاب وجود دارد که 84 مورد از مجموع اين تالابها اهميت بين المللي داشته و تا کنون 33 تالاب با 22 عنوان از جمله تالاب شادگان در عهد نامه رامسر ثبت شده است]7[. تالاب شادگان بعنوان يكي از مهمترين تالابهاي بين المللي چند سالي است كه علاوه بر تحمل رنج شديد خشكسالي، در آستانه يك بحران بزرگ كه بسا منجر به نابودي آن مي شود، قرار گرفته است.
