Phytoremediation employs plants to remove, transfer, stabilize, or destroy contaminants. Its applications include:
Phytoextraction: Plants absorb contaminants through their roots and store them in their biomass. Phytostabilization: Plants immobilize contaminants in the soil, preventing their spread. Phytodegradation: Plants and associated microorganisms break down contaminants into less harmful substances.
