Phytoremediation is the process of using plants to remove toxins and pollutants from soil, air, and water. However, there are several other synonyms or similar concepts related to phytoremediation, including phytotechnology, phytostabilization, and phytodegradation. Phytotechnology refers to the use of plants and associated technologies such as hydroponics and aeroponics to remediate contaminated soil, water, and air. Phytostabilization means using plants to immobilize or contain contaminants to prevent further spread and reduce exposure risks. Finally, phytodegradation is a method of using plants to break down or degrade contaminants into less harmful substances. All of these methods rely on the versatile and efficient way plants process nutrients and interact with ecosystems. Through research and application, phytoremediation and other phytotechnologies have shown promising results in restoring polluted areas and improving environmental health.
