The remediation of metal-contaminated soil is generally achieved by technical solutions.
Bioremediation approaches include phytoremediation with plants taking up metals from the …

Heavy metal contamination of soil as a result of, for example, mining operations, evokes
worldwide concern. The use of selected metal-accumulating plants to clean up heavy metal …

In this review, chemical and biological parameters are discussed thatstrongly influence the
speciation of heavy metals, their availability tobiological systems and, consequently, the …

Pollution of the biosphere by heavy metals (HM) is a global threat that has accelerated
dramatically since the beginning of industrial revolution. HMs can accumulate in soil and, in …

The utilization of organisms, primarily microbes, to clean up contaminated soils, aquifers,
sludges, residues, and air, known as “bioremediation”, is a rapidly changing and expanding …

Phytomining can be limited by low biomass productivity by plants or limited availability of soil
metals. Ongoing research attempts to overcome these potential constraints and to make …

Contrary to the existing conventional remediation technologies, phytoremediation (exploiting
inherent physiological mechanisms of plants to remove pollutants or render them nontoxic) …

Land contaminated by toxic metals threatens both the environment and human health.
Generally, the contamination has arisen through human activities, such as the mining and …

Phytoremediation is the bioremediation of contaminated soils and waters by using plants
and their associated microorganisms. Phytoremediation of heavy metal (HM)-contaminated …

Heavy metals are of great environmental concern as they are non-biodegradable,
accumulate in the environment, enter into the food chain, and exert adverse effects on all …
