Abstract
Environmental pollution becomes most severe due to anthropologic actions including domestic waste generation and excessive utilization of fertilizers and pesticides to get better yield. Although the phenomenon of hyperaccumulation of metal ions in shoots of certain plants is known since long, the contemporary environmental concerns have prompted broad-based studies on hyperaccumulator plants that can phytoremediate contaminated soils. Phytoremediation is considered as an eco-friendly technology which is deployed to alleviate pollutants from environment components. The present chapter discusses phytoextraction and phytovolatilization mechanisms that are involved in the decontamination of the soil.
