Phytoremediation and the Way Forward: Challenges and Opportunities
Heavy metals are persistent in soil, air and water and also enter the food chain as a result of bioaccumulation. They are detrimental to the plants and animals by replacing bivalent cofactors and increasing oxidative stress metabolism. The heavy metal menace is attempted to be remediated by various microorganisms, algal and plant‐based sequestrators. Phytoremediation is an ecofriendly alternative to sequestrate the metal ion during the growth of the plant which occurs through various modes as described in the main article. Alternative approaches to phytoremediation include use of plant based material as biosorbents in concentration of metal ions from soil. There are risks an benefits associated with either of these alternatives unless an understanding of the soil, metal and agent characteristics is there. Our study aims in putting forward the best and promising solutions to heavy metal contamination using plants as the best alternatives. We also discuss the economic alternatives for elimination of heavy metal contamination from soil and water.
