Title: A Review: Phytoextraction, an Effective Application to Remove Pollution and Heavy Metals from Water
Abstract: 3 Abstract: Heavy metals concentration is increasing day by day due to the activities of the human. Due to this increment heavy metals create serious problems to the survival of the organism on the earth. So this is a need of the environment to protect or conserve it from different problems by using different techniques. Phytoextraction is the widely use application of plant in Environmental Biology. This technique was getting more attention for the hyper accumulation of heavy metals in the plants. Plants were good source for the removal of heavy metals from the soil. In this review the use of plant, some important plants which were used in Phytoextraction, pollution of soil causes by heavy metals, effects of heavy metals specially Cadmium and Lead and the mechanism of uptake and adsorption of heavy metals by the plants was studied. Further studies are required in this field to find out other techniques and also the fixation of the plant which are used in this process. Because the organic contaminants, cannot be degraded easily.
