Phytoremediation is the use of plants to clean up contaminated soil. Certain plants can absorb pollutants from the soil through their roots and store them in their tissues, effectively removing the pollutants from the soil. This technique is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to clean up contaminated sites, especially in areas where traditional remediation methods are not feasible or too expensive.
