Example:The land was contaminated with heavy metals, and phytoremediation was implemented using sunflowers to absorb the toxins.

Definition:A process of removing, restructuring, or mitigating contaminants by living plants.

Example:Phytostabilization was used in a contaminated site to immobilize heavy metals in the soil, preventing them from leaching into the groundwater.

Definition:The process of immobilizing contaminants, reducing mobility, and preventing the spread of contaminants through soil and groundwater.

Example:Phytovolatilization techniques were used to reduce the concentration of volatile organic compounds in the soil.

Definition:A process where plants transfer contaminants into the atmosphere as gases, typically for the volatile compounds present in the contaminated soil.
