Assessment of Heavy Metal Bioremediation Potential of Plants and Microbes: A Review
摘要
In this era of modernisation, rapid industrialisation, urbanisation and population explosion have caused the introduction of various contaminants into all spheres of the environment; this has significantly altered the physical and chemical characteristics of land, water and air, which adversely impacted the biotic community. Heavy metals (HMs)Heavy Metals (HMs) are one pollutant class that severely threatens the environment and food security. Heavy metal pollutionHeavy metal pollution in soil refers to the build-up of toxic heavy metalsHeavy Metals (HMs) in soil from various sources, such as industrial activities, mining, and agricultural practices. Heavy metalsHeavy Metals (HMs) can persist in soil for a long time and threaten human health and the environment.
