groundwater-remediation

2 articles

Groundwater remediation is the process of removing or neutralizing pollutants from subsurface water supplies, increasingly achieved through biological approaches that harness living organisms. In plant science, researchers study how certain trees and plants can absorb, degrade, or immobilize contaminants through their root systems—a process known as phytoremediation. Understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms behind how plants tolerate and process groundwater pollutants opens new avenues for engineering more effective, sustainable cleanup strategies.
