Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety 174:714-727(2019)

Recent literature was gathered to review the sources, hazardous effects of toxic heavy metals, and environmentally-sustainable phytoremediation technique for heavy metal-polluted soils to offer widespread applicability of the technology. The review discusses different strategies to enhance the bioavailability of heavy metals in the soil. Phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils is a reliable tool to make land resources accessible for crop production.
