“…In Brazil, studies have been conducted to treat soils contaminated with herbicides through phytoremediation (Galon et al, 2017, Ferreira et al, 2021, Vasconcelo et al, 2020. In these, it was found that there is a diversity of plants capable of acting in this process, among them ornamental specimens, macrophytes, woody trees, agricultural crops, and grasses (Kaushal et al, 2021 apud Bergamo, Daquila, andConte, 2022). Contribuciones a Las Ciencias Sociales, São José dos Pinhais, v.16, n.7, p. 7206-7218, 2023 The phytoremediation technique can be applied in accidents such as the one that occurred in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, after the rupture of the dam of the Feijão stream mine and others such as Fundão, in Mariana, which occurred in Brazil, since some plant species have the capacity of hyperaccumulation.…”
