Phytoremediation

Phytoremediation, namely the process of plants taking contaminants from water, storing them for a certain period of time, and then breaking them down in their tissues. This works well because plants do all the work and we don't have much work for this technique. It is good for breaking the organic contaminants. This includes chemicals that make up carbohydrates and proteins. The plants we use for this process have enzymes that break down some chemicals. Other chemicals are broken down through metabolism, which is a chemical reaction that breaks or builds organic molecules. Phytoremediation is proposed as a cost-effective plant-based remediation approach that utilizes the ability of plants to centralize elements and compounds from the environment and to detoxify various compounds.
