Industrialization has undoubtedly made our lives easier, but it has come at a price, the most serious of which is environmental degradation. Heavy metal accumulation is one of the most prime factors to the soil pollution globally. Heavy metal contamination that has led to the pollution of soil is becoming a global issue. A long-term solution to alleviate heavy metal contamination is extremely important. Among all the methods phytoremediation is a low cost, eco-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing. Phytoremediation is one of the most environmentally friendly methods for reclaiming, revegetating, remediating, and restoring heavy metal-contaminated landscapes. A number of researchers are now proposing the cultivation of aromatic plants such as lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) in such areas as it fulfills the purpose of phytoremediation while also providing financial benefits due to its variety of uses in medicinal and other purposes such as mosquito repellent. The phytoremedial capacity of lemongrass was investigated in a pot experiment using different industrial by-products such as fly ash. Factors such as metal tolerance index (MTI), growth toxicity index (GTI), bioaccumulation factor (BAF), translocation factor (TF) were studied. Lemongrass appears to be a possible phytoextractor for heavy metals like mercury, lead, copper, chromium, nickel, cadmium, and arsenic, according to our research. Because of its increased biomass and metal absorbing capability, lemongrass seemed to be the best plant species among all the types studied.
