Measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence induction kinetics was carried out during a phytoremediation technology field experiment in order to monitor heavy-metal uptake from contaminated soil. A new portable chlorophyll fluorometer was used to identify the most applicable parameter (RFd=fluorescence decay) to monitor the process. Good correlation was demonstrated between this parameter and accumulated heavy-metal concentration. Application of the monitoring technique for remedial technology optimization is proposed.
