This study investigated the efficacy of Typha latifolia (cattail) in removing pollutants from contaminated soil and water near an industrial area through phytoremediation. Samples were collected weekly from a wetland planted with T. latifolia and analyzed, finding a 12% reduction in chromium levels. Graphs showed a gradual reduction of pollutants over time in soil and water near the plants. T. latifolia also demonstrated an ability to bioaccumulate pollutants, validating its potential for large-scale sustainable remediation while highlighting the need to understand bioaccumulation dynamics.

4. Introduction
Phytoremediation Definition Phytoremediation is a green
remediation technique that employs plants to remove, degrade,
or contain pollutants in the environment, offering a natural and
cost-effective approach to environmental cleanup
Typha latifolia - The Cattail Typha latifolia, commonly known as
cattail, is a robust wetland plant known for its adaptability and
pollution-tolerant nature. Its extensive root system and aerial
parts make it a valuable candidate for phytoremediation efforts.
Importance of Sustainable Remediation Sustainable remediation methods
like phytoremediation minimize the environmental footprint of cleanup
activities. By harnessing the natural capabilities of plants like Typha latifolia,
we can achieve effective pollution control while promoting ecosystem
health and balance.
