Abstract :

Plants are used in the recent, eco-friendly procedure of phytoremediation to eliminate, stabilize or breakdown contaminants in contaminate soils. Compared to other methods of soil remediation which are often expensive and disruptive, this green technology provides a sustainable and budget friendly option. Plants can target a variety of pollutants like heavy metals and toxic chemicals using several kinds of techniques such as phytoextraction, phytostabilization, rhizofiltration and phytovolatilization. This article examines the fundamentals of phytoremediation, identifies plant species that have capacity to remediate, talks about the types of phytoremediation, drawback, challenges and future recommendations. Phytoremediation is a promising technique for re-establishing soil health and fostering ecological balance in light of growing concerns about soil pollution. This biological method based on number of specialized mechanisms, including phytostabilization, which inactivate the pollutants and stop the pollutants from migrating, and phytoextraction, in which plants absorb and concentrate contaminants in the parts that can be harvested. All these mechanisms plays their vital role according to the type of contaminant and environmental conditions.
