Phytoremediation is a method to clean up soil contaminated with organic pollutants using plants. Recent research has focused on cleaning up soils contaminated with PCBs, PAHs, pesticides, and nitryl-aromatic compounds. Plants can absorb, break down, and neutralize these pollutants, making phytoremediation a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. However, there are limitations to this technology that need to be considered, and factors that can affect its effectiveness. Future research in this field aims to improve the efficiency of phytoremediation methods.
