Phytoremediation: The Sustainable Strategy for Improving Indoor and Outdoor Air Quality

Most of the world’s population is exposed to highly polluted air conditions exceeding the WHO limits, causing various human diseases that lead towards increased morbidity as well as mortality. Expenditures on air purification and costs spent on the related health issues are rapidly increasing. To ov...
