Phytoremediation is a technique that uses plants to increase dispersion or stabilize pollution in the environment, and acts by decomposing and absorbing heavy metals by the rhizosphere. Being propitiated by the low cost, ease of implantation, good public acceptance and, because it is not invasive, it can be applied in situ. Thus, the objective of this work was to identify studies on the phytoremediation of heavy metals with the species Schizolobium amazonicum Huber ex Ducke (Paricá) to verify its effective collaboration in minimizing damage caused to nature. The research was developed based on literature reviews to verify if the Paricá plant can be used in areas that require extraction, degradation, and containment or immobilization of contaminants. With this research, it is possible to investigate the need for more studies that can apply phytoremediation with this type of plant in anthropized places.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
