Abstract
Phytoremediation is the application of plant–microbe interactions for the bioremediation of toxic chemicals present in the environment. The application of phytoremediation has emerged as a prospective tool in the last three decades. Plants can be applied for the volatilization, degradation, extraction, and solubilization of pollutants. Plants and their associated microorganisms are able to remove both organic and inorganic pollutants from soils. However, the exact mechanism of the removal of pollutants from the environment with a plant–microbe association is still not known. Therefore, this chapter covers the knowledge about phytoremediation and its application for a sustainable environment.
