“…[33] This characteristic is important for in situ phytoextraction strategy. [10,31] The TF values of Cu, Pb and Zn decreased after the amendment treatments. The decrease in metal transport can be related to metal binding to functional groups of amendments.…”

“…However, some plant species are able to extract and accumulate a large amount of metal in their shoots. [10] These plants species usually have a BCF value of more than 1. Therefore, they are classified as hyperaccumulator plants and are suitable for a phytoextraction remediation strategy.…”

“…[10,23] The influence of soil pH on the immobilisation of heavy metals in a contaminated soil was assessed by measuring the soil pH before and after the amendment treatments (pot experiment). The addition of DTS, CC and EFB to the contaminated soils increased the pH of the firing range soil by 0.3-0.5 units (data not shown).…”

“…Their presence in soil may pose a great risk to the food chain and water supplies. [10] Living organisms are exposed to the risk of heavy metals toxicity if the concentration in soil exceeds the threshold values. [11] For example, a high intake of Pb by a human can cause kidney damage, anaemia and miscarriage for pregnant women.…”

“…As metals may cause major environmental and human health problems, effective methods are needed to remediate the pollution from soil [4]. Owing to the serious consequences of toxicity due to metal contamination, increasing efforts have been made to phytoremediate the toxic metals from the fly ash soil and environment (from both water bodies and soil) [5] Certain plants such as the P. hysterophorus have been reported to have potential to phytosequester heavy metals in large proportion and provide the feasibility of phytoremediation of metals from soil and fly ash soil [6].…”

To investigate the interaction of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with fly ash soil (FAS) for the reduction of metals from FAS by Parthenium hysterophorus were studied. The average accumulation of metals by P. hysterophorus stem were Fe 79.6%; Zn 88.5%; Cu 67.5%; Pb 93.6%; Ni 43.5% and Hg 39.4% at 5.5 g ZnO NP. The concentration of ZnO NP at 1.5 g did not affect the metals accumulation, however at 5.5 g ZnO NP showed highest metal reduction was 96.7% and at 10.5-15.5 g ZnO NP of 19.8%. The metal reduction rate was R max for Fe 16.4; Zn 21.1; Pb 41.9; Hg 19.1 was higher than Ni 6.4 and Cu 11.3 from the FAS at 5.5 g ZnO NP whereas, the reduction rate of Pb showed highest. With doses of 5.5 g ZnO NP the biomass increased upto 78%; the metal reduced upto 98.7% with the share of 100% ZnO NP from FAS. Further investigation with phytotoxicity the plant reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were affected due was mainly due to the recovery of metals from FAS (R2 = 0.99).

Escalated industrialization, inappropriate waste management practices, mining, landfill operations, and application of sewage sludge have caused excess contamination of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. As a consequence, human beings pose serious threats to life-supporting resources, i.e., air, soil, and water. Heavy metals and pesticides are a special class of contaminants having wide variety of effects. When the contaminated lands are used for agriculture practices, contaminants like heavy metals and pesticides get transferred from soil to food chain which leads to bioaccumulation and biomagnification. Phytoremediation (a technique that exploits plants ability to lessen, eradicate, degrade, or immobilize the environmental contaminants, with the aim of restoring the contaminated area) is gaining advantage over other conventional treatment techniques being economical, environmentally sound, and aesthetically acceptable. Conventional approaches for cleanup and restoration of heavy metals and pesticides from contaminated environment have some unavoidable precincts like high cost and creation of secondary pollutants. Many aquatic and terrestrial plants such as Eichhornia,
