Enhancing phytoremediation of soils polluted with heavy metals

Maria Gavrilescu

Summary: Environmental pollution with heavy metals adversely affects soil quality and crop yields. Phytoremediation, using plants as hyperaccumulators, provides an environmentally friendly solution, but it is not without its drawbacks. Plant toxicity and low bioavailability of heavy metals in soil are major challenges. Various techniques have been proposed to enhance and expedite phytoremediation by increasing plant tolerance to heavy metal toxicity and promoting heavy metal extraction and transport.
