Abstract :
The use of plants to extract heavy metals from
contaminated soil is termed phytoextraction. In recent
times, phytoextraction has gained traction as a method
for the remediation of spoil soil due to its eco-friendliness
and cost-effectiveness. This review study shows how
several plant species like Inula viscosa L. artin,
Euohorbia dendroides L, Salix Viminalis, Eucalyptus
rostrate, Linnum utitatissimum L., Bryopyllum
Pinnatum, Cistus salvifolius L, Helichrysium italicum,
etc. can be used for the uptake of Lead (Pb) and/or
Cadmium (Cd) from contaminated soil. The review
demonstrates that the uptake of these heavy metals from
soil using selective plant species is effective and efficient.
