Phytoremediation involves the use of vascular plants, algae,

and fungi to remove and control waste or spur waste break-
down by microorganisms in the soil zone that surrounds
and is influenced by the roots of plants. The diverse wastes
that can be managed by using phytoremediation include
xenobiotic organic chemicals, sewage, salts, nutrients, heavy
metals, metalloids, and air pollutants. Phytoremediation: 1. Overview of Phytotransformation and Control of Wastes
