HEAVY METALS

https://doi.org/10.47672/ajes.247Keywords:
Metals, phytoremediation, phytovolatilization, phytostabilizationAbstract
Purpose: The study investigated on heavy metals
Methodology: The study used desktop study research design.
Results: Phytoremediation has been perceived to be a more environmentally-friendly “green” and low tech alternative to more active and intrusive remedial methods.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The potential role of both free living and symbiotic soil microbes in the rhizosphere of plants growing in metal-contaminated soils in enhancing the phytoremediation process can be an important tool to support the technology. The outcome of undergoing genetic engineering investigation concerning plants applicable in phytoremediation may also lead to a better understanding of metal metabolism in plants, which can result in important contributions for the implementation of phytoremediation as a feasible soil remediation technology.
