bioremediation

6 articles

Bioremediation is the use of biological organisms to remove environmental pollutants from air, water, and soil by leveraging their natural ability to absorb, accumulate, and degrade contaminants. For plant science, this approach is particularly significant because plants can be deployed as living systems to remediate contaminated environments, offering a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to conventional chemical treatment methods. This has opened important research pathways into how plants interact with and neutralize pollutants in their growth environments.
