Current trends and future prospective in nanoremediation of heavy metals contaminated soils: A way forward towards sustainable agriculture

Heavy metals (HMs) contamination in agricultural soils is a major concern for global food safety and human health. Although, various in-situ and ex-situ remediation methods have been used for the treatment of HMs contaminated soils, however, they also have many drawbacks viz., capital investment, to...
