pollution-cleanup

2 articles

Pollution cleanup in plant science refers to the use of plants and their associated microorganisms to absorb, degrade, or neutralize environmental contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals — a process known as phytoremediation. Plants offer a cost-effective and sustainable approach to restoring contaminated soils and water, making them valuable tools in environmental remediation efforts. Understanding the physiological and genetic mechanisms that allow certain species to tolerate and accumulate pollutants drives research into engineering more effective cleanup strategies.
