In the last decades, the growing industrial activities, rapid urbanization, highest consumption
rates, and non-safe human practices have greatly increased soil pollution with …

Heavy metals (HMs) pollution is a globally emerging concern. It is difficult to cost-effectively
combat such HMs polluted soil environments. The efficient remediation of HMs polluted soil …

The term “hyperaccumulator” describes a number of plants that belong to distantly related
families, but share the ability to grow on metalliferous soils and to accumulate extraordinarily …

This article reviews the responses of plant roots to elevated rhizosphere cadmium (Cd)
concentrations. Cadmium enters plants from the soil solution. It traverses the root through …

Recently, there has been an increased effort to enhance the efficacy of phytoremediation of
contaminated environments by exploiting plant–microbe interactions. The combined use of …

Heavy metal (HM) pollution in sediment is a serious concern particularly in develo**
nations, warranting an extensive survey to understand the current situation and propose …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of plant-bacterial synergism in
floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) for efficient remediation of an oil field wastewater. Two …

The present study was carried out in Hayat Abad Industrial Estate located in Peshawar to
assess the levels of cadmium (Cd) that were present in the soil as well as the plant parts …

A more efficient performance of several basic biochemical tolerance mechanisms provides
an advantage to halophytes with respect to several environmental factors including heavy …

The use of floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) is a promising approach for the remediation of
sewage effluent. The efficiency of FTWs can be improved by the combined use of plants and …
