This review examines phytomanagement as a nature-based approach for recovering soils contaminated with metals and metalloids. Researchers found that using plants and associated microorganisms, combined with appropriate site management, can effectively restore soil ecological functions while providing economic value through biomass production. The study suggests that phytomanagement offers a sustainable alternative to conventional soil remediation techniques for large contaminated areas.
Aquatic Plants in phytoremediation of contaminated water: Recent knowledge and future prospects
This paper is not about microplastics; it reviews phytoremediation — the use of aquatic plants to remove heavy metals from contaminated water — covering sources of heavy metal pollution, remediation techniques, and factors affecting plant uptake efficiency.
Bioaccumulation of Heavy Metals in a Soil–Plant System from an Open Dumpsite and the Associated Health Risks through Multiple Routes
Researchers studied heavy metal contamination in soil and plants at a municipal waste dump site, screening native plant species for their ability to absorb and accumulate metals. They found that certain plants showed strong potential as hyperaccumulators that could be used for bioremediation of contaminated land. The study also assessed health risks to nearby populations from exposure through ingestion, skin contact, and inhalation of contaminated soil and plant material.
A Multidisciplinary Framework for Sustainable Landfill Leachate Management: Integrating Phytoremediation Performance, Human Health Risk Assessment, and Community Perception
Researchers evaluated a phytoremediation-based treatment system combining horsetail, water hyacinth, and zeolite for reducing heavy metal contamination and microplastic abundance in landfill leachate. The study used a mixed-methods approach integrating laboratory experiments with community health risk assessments, aiming to develop a sustainable framework for landfill leachate management.
Phytoremediation of Polluted Waterbodies with Aquatic plants: Recent Progress on Heavy Metal and Organic Pollutants
This review surveys phytoremediation strategies using aquatic plants to remove heavy metals and organic pollutants from contaminated water. Aquatic plants are also impacted by microplastic pollution, and understanding their tolerance and remediation capacity is relevant to restoring water quality in contaminated environments.
Pollutant removal through phytoremediation: a review
This review examines phytoremediation mechanisms — phytoextraction, phytostabilization, phytovolatilization, and rhizofiltration — for removing heavy metals and microplastics from contaminated Indonesian water bodies, evaluating efficiency and influencing factors.
Remediation of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soil Using Potential Microbes Isolated from a Closed Disposal Site
Bacteria isolated from a closed landfill site were tested for their ability to remove heavy metals from contaminated soil, with promising results for lead and chromium removal. Microorganisms that can clean up metal-contaminated soils are relevant to the broader challenge of remediating sites contaminated with plastic-associated heavy metals.
Exploring the Role of Selective Earthworm Species in Microbial-Mediated Heavy Metal Conversion: Implications for Environmental Bioremediation
This review examines how selective earthworm species enhance microbial activity in soils contaminated with heavy metals, finding that earthworm-mediated changes to microbial communities can accelerate metal transformation processes and support sustainable bioremediation strategies.
Research Progress on the Removal of Contaminants from Wastewater by Constructed Wetland Substrate: A Review
This review examines how different substrate materials used in constructed wetlands affect the removal of pollutants including microplastics, heavy metals, and pharmaceutical compounds from wastewater. Researchers found that substrate selection is critical to wetland performance but is often based on personal experience rather than scientific evidence. The study provides guidance on choosing substrates with optimal physical and chemical properties to improve wastewater treatment efficiency.
