Abstract

Environmental contamination from heavy metals has grown to be a significant problem on a global basis. Due to the mobilisation of heavy metals during ore extraction and subsequent processing for diverse applications, they have been dispersed into the environment. Utilising plants for pollutant extraction, degradation, or volatilization is possible. Using plants and the bacteria that live on them to clean up the environment is known as phytoremediation. 
 The bioaccumulation of elements in the body tissues of hyperaccumulator plants is used in phytoextraction, phytofiltration, phytostabilization, phytovolatilization, phytodesalination, and phytomining processes. As they move from low trophic levels to high trophic levels, their concentrations rise (a process also named as biomagnification). Recent studies indicates ability of Panicum maximum to clean places that have been contaminated with diversifed heavy metals and other types of pollution.
