Phytoremediation: A New Green-Technology Approach in Site Clean-up of Heavy Metals

Water and soil pollutant with Heavy Metals (HMs) is a major concern all over the world. It badly affects the human health and plant growth as well. The contaminated water and soil are remediating by the process of phytoremediation that gives prospect for recovering pristine stage of the water and soil’s environment. The phytoremediation technology which is cost-effective that is used for heavy metals removal and other contaminant from water and soil. The plants who have hyperaccumulator, they use its inner multipart system of largely efficient mechanism that controlling uptake, trafficking, accumulated & detoxifying of the heavy metal. Numerous approached for phytoremediation shows that instead of limitations, phytoremediation is most efficient approach for the heavy metals’ removal and contaminants from water and soil. Phytoremediation is cost effective and have few side effects as compared to chemical and physical approaches. The latest advancements in biotechnology plays a challenging part in the growth of novel hyperaccumulator from transfer of metallic gene by low to high species of biomass that produce cultivated species in future. Latest progress in practical & research application for phytoremediation to water & soil is there. In the future, phytoremediation’s efficacy of various plants for specific heavy metals have tested in farm condition to understand the feasibility for the technology of phytoremediation for the purpose of commercialization. Different required traits might be combined in single species of plant.
