Soil contamination with toxic metals resulting from global industrialization is a serious environmental issue. Industrial activities such as mining of ore, discharge wastewater, excess application fertilizer and pesticide have led to environment heavy cadmium, lead, mercury, copper, arsenic, zinc etc. Complete degradation not possible thus they continuously accumulate in the leading great threa...

Abstract Toxic metal contamination of soil is a major environmental hazard. Chemical methods for heavy metal's (HMs) decontamination such as heat treatment, electroremediation, replacement, precipitation and chemical leaching are generally very costly not be applicable to agricultural lands. However, many strategies being used restore polluted environments. Among these, phytoremediation promisi...

Constructed wetlands are promising engineering technique that reproduce the conditions of the natural wetlands [1]. They have high water treatment capacity because of the intensive “work” of the plants and the microorganisms. Depending on the conditions various types of plants are growing: common reed (Phragmites australis), rush (Typha latifolia), iris, etc. (Fig. 1). These plants are stable t...

Phytoremediation, a plant based green technology, has received increasing attention after the discovery of hyperaccumulating plants which are able to accumulate, translocate, and concentrate high amount of certain toxic elements in their above-ground/harvestable parts. Phytoremediation includes several processes namely, phytoextraction, phytodegradation, rhizofiltration, phytostabilization and ...

Abstract This paper reviews plants and microorganisms removal of heavy metals from contaminated sites through bioaccumulation. Increased industrial activities have led to the uncontrolled release into environment, resulting in a global increase metal pollution. Heavy are also consumed surface glasses over prolonged period use. pollution is serious problem that can wide-ranging long-lasting impa...

Water pollution due to heavy metals has become a serious environmental concern their hazardous properties. Since conventional water remediation techniques are generally ineffective and non-environmentally friendly, phytoremediation gained increasing attention from worldwide researchers scientists its cost-effectiveness friendliness. Hence, this review first discussed soil remediations. Phytorem...

Toxic substances have a deleterious effect on biological systems if accrued in ecosystems beyond their acceptable limit. A natural ecosystem can become contaminated due to the excessive release of toxic by various anthropogenic and activities, which necessitates rehabilitation environmental contamination. Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly cost-efficient method biotechnological mitigation for ...

Phytoremediation is a plant function that degrades, eliminates, and inactivates potentially hazardous toxic compounds in the polluted water, soil, air. In phytoremediation mechanisms, phytodegrading enzymes break down pollutants taken up by plants (phytodegradation). Additionally, microorganisms found plant-related rhizosphere can also degrade soil (rhizodegradation). The extract from accumulat...

Phytoremediation is a sustainable process in which green plants are used for the removal or elimination of contaminants in soils. Both organic and inorganic contaminants can be removed or degraded by growing plants by several mechanisms, namely phytoaccumulation, phytostabilization, phytodegradation, rhizofiltration and rhizodegradation. Phytoremediation has several advantages: it can be applie...

Abstract In today's fast-paced society, environmental breakdown is an ecumenical concern. This dilemma tangled up with the unaccountable anthropogenic activities that are causing significant public health issues. Because of rapid pace development, urban soil and water pollution progressively acting as a sink for variety contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, petroleum waste, radioact...
