Abstract

Vast industrialization, expanded rate of waste generation, intense agricultural impacts, mining activities, and polluted water systems are adding to heavy metal pollution on soil and water sources. These heavy metal-polluted resources eventually get concentrated in the food system that are utilized by humans and animals and, thus, bring about a serious threat to ecological and human well-being. Removing these contaminants requires great effort and sophisticated operational techniques. Phytoextraction is a modern approach to the removal of heavy metals from contaminated sites. Thus, this chapter extensively details the background, sources, and adverse impacts of some heavy metals; techniques in phytoremediation systems, mechanism of phytoextraction as a remediation approach, and advantages and limitations of phytoextraction were also reviewed.
