Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phytoremediation involves using plants to absorb pollutants from soil and water, either naturally or with genetic engineering. This method can be effective in cleaning up contaminated sites but may not be the fastest or most efficient approach. It also does not necessarily result in the production of hazardous waste, although the contaminated plants must be handled and disposed of appropriately.
