Nano-Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals from Soil: A Critical Review

Priyanka Prakash, S Smitha Chandran · 1 Aug 2023

Heavy metal pollution is one of the major global issues arising from various anthropogenic activities. The natural habitat and human health may be at peril from heavy metal exposure since they are tenacious, bio-accumulative, and non-biodegradable. Therefore, eradicating heavy metals from the soil ecosystem is a crucial responsibility to create a secure, viable, and zero-waste…
