PHYTOREMEDIATION OF SOILS CONTAMINATED BY LEAD

Jun Wu

Abstract

Phytoremediation, a technology using plants to remove contaminants from soil, has become a hot topic in current research. This paper reviews studies in the field of phytoremediation of soils contaminated by lead with special focuses on hyperaccumulator, mechanism of lead hyperaccumulation and it’s affecting factors, application of chelators in improving remediation and trend of the future development of the technology.
