Abstract

After the industrial revolution, human beings are utilizing natural resources in an accelerated and alarming rate, which has resulted into the release of very harmful substances into the environment. Along with industrialization, there was the growth of urban centers with changed lifestyles having an additional burden on the environment posing a serious threat to the delicate ecological balance. For cleaning this waste, especially domestic wastewater by conventional treatment methods, all governments, and local civic bodies have to incur huge capital expenditures on them. Some alternative green technologies, such as the technique of phytoremediation for the treatment of domestic wastewater are much promising. This review article focuses on a selection of plant species for phytoremediation which are indigenous, have the potential of cleaning domestic wastewater, and can easily adapt to local ecosystems without harming them along with some socio-economic and ecological benefits.
