Phytoremediation for water quality improvement: current advances and future prospects
This review examines recent advances in phytoremediation, the use of plants to remove contaminants including microplastics from polluted water. Researchers highlight how emerging technologies like nanotechnology, microbial partnerships, and genetic engineering tools such as CRISPR are being integrated to improve plant-based cleanup efficiency. The study notes that while results from controlled studies are promising, significant challenges remain in scaling these approaches to real-world applications.
The power of green: Harnessing phytoremediation to combat micro/nanoplastics
This review explores how plants and plant-based systems can be used to capture and remove micro- and nanoplastics from contaminated soil and water environments. Researchers found that certain plant species can absorb, trap, or break down plastic particles through their root systems and associated microorganisms. The study suggests that phytoremediation, or using plants to clean up pollution, could become a scalable and environmentally friendly strategy for tackling plastic contamination.
Nano-Technological Bioremediation: Revolutionizing Environmental Cleanup
This review explores how combining nanotechnology with bioremediation improves the ability to clean up environmental pollutants including microplastics, heavy metals, and organic chemicals.

Effects of micro and nanoplastics on plant-assisted bioremediation for contaminated soil recovery: A review
This review examines how the growing presence of micro- and nanoplastics in contaminated soils affects plant-assisted bioremediation, finding that microplastics disrupt the plant-microbe rhizosphere interactions that make phytoremediation effective for removing heavy metals and degrading organic pollutants.
Evaluation on the Biological Aspect of Plant, Contaminant Types and Application of Phytoremediation for Environmental and Economical Sustainability
This review assessed how different types of plants can be used to clean up environmental contaminants, including microplastics, from soil, water, and sediments. Researchers found that various plant species can effectively remove or stabilize pollutants through natural biological processes, and that newer technologies like genetic engineering and nanotechnology can further enhance these capabilities. The study suggests that plant-based remediation offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to addressing pollution while also supporting carbon sequestration and soil health.
Exploring the Potential of Endophytic Microorganisms and Nanoparticles for Enhanced Water Remediation
This review explores how plant-dwelling microorganisms (endophytes) combined with nanoparticles can be used to clean pollutants, including microplastics, from contaminated water. The endophytes produce enzymes that break down pollutants, while nanoparticles boost their effectiveness. This biological approach offers a potentially low-cost and sustainable alternative to conventional water treatment methods for removing emerging contaminants.
Nanotechnology for the Remediation of Plastic Wastes
This review examines nanotechnology-based approaches for remediation of plastic waste, covering methods to address the growing environmental threat posed by microplastics and nanoplastics as persistent pollutants derived from degrading larger plastic debris.
Microplastic pollution: Phytotoxicity, environmental risks, and phytoremediation strategies
This review examines how microplastics harm plants through oxidative stress, interference with photosynthesis, and DNA damage, and explores whether plants could be used to clean up microplastic pollution. Plants can absorb tiny microplastics through their roots and leaves, and the plastics accumulate along the food chain, making health risk assessment difficult. The authors discuss phytoremediation strategies where specific plants could help remove microplastics from contaminated soil.
