13. Hydroponics Phytoremediation: An Overview

Hydroponics has emerged as a significant method for phytoremediation, providing an innovative approach to tackle environmental pollution. This paper explores the application of hydroponics in phytoremediation, focusing on its advantages and potential as a sustainable and efficient remediation technique. Through a systematic review of relevant literature, the paper highlights the fundamental principles of hydroponics and its ability to promote plant growth while enhancing the uptake and detoxification of contaminants from polluted environments. Moreover, the abstract discusses various hydroponic systems and their adaptability to diverse environmental conditions. Additionally, the role of hydroponics in improving the overall efficacy of phytoremediation processes is analysed, emphasizing its ability to reduce the time and space required for plant growth and pollutant removal. The paper also addresses potential challenges and limitations associated with hydroponics-based phytoremediation and proposes future research directions to optimize the method further. Overall, this abstract sheds light on the promising potential of hydroponics as a significant method for phytoremediation, providing a green and sustainable approach to combat environmental pollution.
