2018
Filip, Snežana | Lisichkov, Kiril
Phytoremediation is defined as effective use of plants to remove, detoxify and immobilize contaminants in the polluted soil or water. The aim of the paper is to discuss and present the possibility of using specific aromatic herbs to grow on heavy metal polluted areas. These herbs can be used in food processing or to produce high value products (essential oils). Also, the heavy metals do not enter in the food chain through phytoremediation by aromatic plants. This technique is sustainable, aesthetic and environmental friendly.
