contaminant-remediation
Contaminant remediation in plant science refers to the use of plants to absorb, degrade, or neutralize environmental pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals from soil and water. This field, often called phytoremediation, leverages natural plant physiological processes—including uptake, sequestration, and metabolic transformation—to clean contaminated ecosystems. Understanding how plants tolerate and process toxins is critical for developing sustainable, low-cost alternatives to conventional soil remediation methods.
