Heavy-metal (HM) pollution is considered a leading source of environmental contamination. Heavy-metal pollution in ground water poses a serious threat to human health and the aquatic ecosystem. Conventional treatment technologies to remove the pollutants from wastewater are usually costly, time-consuming, environmentally destructive, and mostly inefficient. Phytoremediation is a cost-effective green emerging technology with long-lasting applicability. The selection of plant species is the most significant aspect for successful phytoremediation. Aquatic plants hold steep efficiency for the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) and Duck weed (Lemna minor) along with some other aquatic plants are prominent metal accumulator plants for the remediation of heavy-metal polluted water. The phytoremediation potential of the aquatic plant can be further enhanced by the application of innovative approaches in phytoremediation. A summarizing review regarding the use of aquatic plants in phytoremediation is gathered in order to present the broad applicability of phytoremediation.

“…Phytoremediation offers a promising alternative to expensive and disruptive engineering-based methods of remediation. It involves utilizing plants to effectively eliminate, break down, con ne, or neutralize environmental pollutants, thereby making them harmless (Majumder et al, 2017). Plant-associated micro ora and organic/inorganic substances exuded by plants in their rhizosphere facilitate the breakdown or transformation of pollutants into non-toxic forms (Siddiqua et al, 2022).…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of speci c plant species in stimulating the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in soil and con rming the relationship between microbial activity in the rhizosphere and the breakdown of petroleum compounds (Akpokodje & Uguru, 2019; Majumder et al, 2017). For instance, Nedunuri et al (2000) reported that some plants release enzymes and exudates that can intensify the microbial activity in the rhizosphere that have a variety of petroleum-degradation characteristics (Nedunuri et al, 2000).…”

Contamination of soil and water with petroleum hydrocarbons and metals can pose a signi cant threat to the environment and human health. This study aimed to investigate the establishment and growth of high fescue and agropyron in two petroleum-contaminated soils (soil S1 and soil S2) with previous landfarming treatments, and to assess the phytoremediation potential for heavy metal removal from these polluted soils. The results showed that the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons signi cantly (P < 0.05) reduced plant growth, but plant development was facilitated in soils with prior landfarming treatments. Urease activity in the rhizosphere of agropyron for soil S1 was about 47% higher than the unplanted control soil. The rhizosphere of agropyron and tall fescue eliminated more than 40% and 20% of total hydrocarbon amounts in soil S1, respectively, compared to the unplanted soil. Moreover, the plants grown in the landfarming treatment exhibited higher concentrations of metals (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, and Ni) than the control. Based on the ndings, the combination of landfarming and phytoremediation techniques can provide an optimal solution for removing mixed pollutants, including petroleum hydrocarbons and metals, from the environment.

In this study, two aquatic macrophytes namely, Azolla pinnata and Lemna minor are floating plants were obtained from Agric. Microbial Dept., Soils, Water and Environment Research Institute (SWERI), Agric. Res. Center (ARC), Giza, Egypt and used to some heavy metal such as Iron, Zinc and lead This study reported the ability of two aquatic plants (A. pinnata and L. minor) to remove Iron, Zinc and lead from aqueous solutions FeSO4.7H2O, ZnSo4.7H2O and C4H6O4Pb.3H2O of four different initial concentrations (0-100 ppm) for 20 days under greenhouse conditions. The results indicated that A. pinnata gave higher growth density than that recorded for L. minor during all the tested incubation periods from zero time up to 20 days. Results obtained in this study showed a maximum removal of Fe, Zn (88.18, 84.63 %) by L. minor at 100ppm initial metal concentration however the maximum removal by A. pinnata at the same concentration was (86.97, 81.14%) after 20 day of incubation. These A. pinnata appeared to be more efficient than L. minor for removing Pb .On the other hand A. pinnata was better than L. minor in biomass for each of the elements used in the experiment during the incubation period.
