Spontaneous Light Emission Of Wheat Seedlings In Leachate Solutions

The photon-counts of two series of wheat seedlings growing in landfill's leachate solutions are studied in respect to germination efficiency and spontaneous photon (biophoton) emission, evidencing the relation between biophotonic emission and the seedling's development and also the its variability. ©2009IEEE.226228Bertazzoli, R., Pelegrini, R., (2002) Decoloring and Degradation in Organic Polutents by the Photo-electrochemical Process, 25 (3), pp. 477-482. , in Port., Química Nova;Pacheco, J.R., Peralta-Zamora, P., (2004) Advanced Oxidation Process in Leachate Treatment, , in Port..
