and leaching of Zn and Cd from the contaminated
soil. The physicochemical technologies for the
decontamination of contaminated ecosystems are
complex and expensive and may cause undesirable
side effects for the environment that then must in
turn be decontaminated. Thus phytoremediation
has been proposed as an effective alternative to
remediate heavy metal-contaminated sites. Some
potential plants for stabilization of Zn and Cd in
metalliferous soils are shown in Table

account of phytomanagement of Padaeng Zn
mine waste and Cd contamination has been dealt

Conclusions
Thailand has a rich phytodiversity, and hence
plant and associated microfl ora had good poten-
tial to provide suitable phytoremediation strate-
gies for the metalliferous substrates. The major
sites contaminated with minerals in Thailand are
dealt with in this chapter. Indigenous plants that
can accumulate elevated doses of plants and are
often associated with bacteria and fungi.
However, the various processes accomplished by
these associations are still not certain. A number
of bio-geotech operations are deployed for recla-
mation of mine waste.
