Phytoremediation of soils polluted by heavy metals and metalloids using crops: (i) the state of the art

Phytoremediation of soils polluted by heavy metals and metalloids using crops: (i) the state of the art

Phytoremediation has a strong potential as a natural, solar-energy driven remediation approach for the treatment of soils and sediments polluted. Research has focused several aspects of the process of uptake, translocation and storage of heavy metals in plants. However we can not predict when the te...
