contaminant-cleanup
Contaminant cleanup, or phytoremediation, is the use of plants to absorb, degrade, or immobilize environmental pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals from soil and water. Plants are uniquely suited for this role due to their ability to take up substances through their roots and sequester or transform toxins through metabolic pathways. Understanding the molecular and physiological mechanisms behind these processes is a key area of plant science research, with implications for ecological restoration and sustainable land management.
