Phytoremediation of Co-contaminated Soils by Heavy Metals and Persistent Organic Pollutants

This chapter primarily focuses on the utilization of phytoextraction and phytodegradation technologies for the remediation of the sites with toxic metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) contamination. Specifically, it delves into the realm of heavy metal phytoextraction and the phytodegradation of POPs, providing comprehensive insights into these subjects. The discussion encompasses an exploration of the advantages, limitations, and areas necessitating improvement within the fields of phytoextraction and phytodegradation. Furthermore, the chapter addresses the anticipated future developments in the domain of phytoremediation.
