Abstract
Nigeria's population has increased dramatically in recent years, leading to massive urbanization and industrialization with a concomitant increase in environmental pollution. Chemical industries such as the paint industry use large quantities of water in their processes, resulting in the generation and release of a lot of effluent into the environment. These effluents contain suspended solids, pigments, colorants, heavy metals, oil, and grease, which, if not properly managed, could have a negative impact on the environment and human health. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to review the effectiveness of the various conventional methods of treating paint effluent as compared to phytoremediation.
