Phytoremediation of wastewater using aquatic plants, A review

Disposal of waste products and residuals into the natural water bodies can havefatal consequences for aquatic ecosystems, posing severe threats to naturalhabitats and human health. Natural treatment systems are the most suitabletreatment technologies for various types of wastewaters, which has attra...
