Phytoremediation effectively reduces heavy metals in soil, enhancing safety for food production and public health.
Parthenium hysterophorus achieved a 2.8-fold higher cadmium accumulation compared to control species in trials.
Assessments indicate that optimizing species selection and environmental conditions can improve remediation outcomes.
Despite its potential, phytoremediation faces challenges like ecological impacts and slow remediation processes.
