Phytoremediation uses plants and their associated microorganisms to stabilize or reduce contamination in soil, water, or sediments. There are several types of phytoremediation depending on the contaminants. Phytoextraction involves plants absorbing metal contaminants into their roots and shoots, which are then harvested. Rhizofiltration uses plant roots to absorb or adsorb metals from surface water or groundwater. Phytostabilization reduces the mobility and bioavailability of contaminants in soil through root absorption and accumulation. Phytoremediation can transform or degrade organic chemical contaminants through metabolic processes in the plant or associated rhizosphere microbes. While an environmentally friendly approach, phytoremediation is a
