Abstract
Phytoremediation, utilizing plants to address pollution, especially perfluorochemicals (PFCs), emerges as a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution. Key mechanisms like phytoextraction, rhizofiltration, and phytodegradation are employed for remediating diverse pollutants. While successful globally, PFCs pose unique challenges, requiring tailored strategies. Abuja, Nigeria, facing environmental challenges, can benefit from phytoremediation. Vetiver Grass, Sunflower, Indian Mustard, and Water Hyacinth are selected for their PFC remediation abilities. Essential infrastructure includes contaminant analysis tools, monitoring equipment, greenhouse facilities, and experimental plots. Results indicate varying efficacy among plant species. This study emphasizes the importance of laboratory facilities for in-depth research. Phytoremediation proves valuable for Abuja's environmental concerns.
