heavy-metal-cleanup
Heavy-metal cleanup, or phytoremediation, is the use of plants to absorb, concentrate, or detoxify heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and arsenic from contaminated soils and water. Plants with hyperaccumulator traits can sequester these toxic elements in their tissues, making them valuable tools for restoring polluted environments without disruptive excavation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms behind metal uptake and tolerance in plants drives research into both ecological restoration and the engineering of crops with improved stress resistance.
