Phytoremediation is a cost-effective and efficient way to clean up organic pollutants in soil using plants. It works by plants directly absorbing pollutants, breaking them down with enzymes, and promoting biodegradation in the soil. Factors like the type of pollutant, environment, and plant species affect how well phytoremediation works. Adding substances like surfactants can help make pollutants easier to remove. Scientists have created models to predict how well phytoremediation will work in different situations. Overall, phytoremediation is still being developed, but it shows promise for cleaning up contaminated soil in the future.
