Definition
Phytoremediation is a process that uses vascular plants as a means of extracting inorganic and organic contaminants from soils (1). The strategies used in phytoremediation can be grouped into physical, chemical and biological methods for mitigating the effect subsurface pollutants have on the soil and groundwater.
