Abstract


Phytoremediation is a technique that uses green plants, such as spices (e.g., Thlaspi Caerulescens, Brassica Juncea, Helianthus annuus) and woody plants (e.g., Salix spp, Populus spp), to eliminate, absorb, or convert different hazardous chemicals to the environment, such as heavy metals.
