These studies Review the plant species for phytoremediation potential and capability to consumption and accrue Heavy metals concentration. Natural renewable resources are valuable assets for human development. Extreme utilization of the resources and severely contaminated due to the influence of human activity on nature. Resources Contamination with toxic metals is a wide-ranging environmental issue resultant from various sources like Inorganic fertilizer, pesticides, leaching, and dumping of pollutants. The Remediation of sites polluted with toxic metals is predominantly difficult. Conventional techniques for recovery are expensive and environmentally uncongenial. Plant-based technology known as Phytoremediation has been proposed as an economical environment-friendly alternative technology to the conventional remediation approaches.
