Use of non-hyperaccumulator plant species for the phytoextraction of heavy metals using chelating agents
Soil contamination by heavy metals is a challenge faced by many countries, and engineering technologies to solve this problem are expensive and can cause negative impacts on the environment. One way to minimise the levels of heavy metals in the soil is to use plants that can absorb and accumulate he...
