phytoremediation technology will depend on its
socioeconomical impact. Removing heavy met-
als and hazardous contaminants from the envi-
ronment using plants prevent industrial-level
cleaning efforts involving costly machines and
chemicals. Plants used in phytoremediation offer
greenery on contaminated, dusty, barren lands,
and also help in minimizing the greenhouse ef-
fect and global warming. Thus, initiatives are
required for increasing awareness of this green
technology and encouraging basic and applied
research to improve existing technology.
