Phytoremediation, Water pollution, Constructed wetlands, Removal efficiency, Baiyangdian LakeAbstract
Phytoremediation is a financially feasible and ecologically sound methodology that capitalizes on the inherent qualities of plants to mitigate and remediate environmental pollutants arising from diverse sources. These pollutants include heavy metals, nutrients, antibiotics, pesticides, as well as other emerging contaminants. This synthesis encompasses a scoping review of phytoremediation, elucidating its fundamental techniques and removal effectiveness. Through a comprehensive examination of existing research, the optimal plant-based remediation scheme for addressing the water quality concerns of Baiyangdian has been identified, demonstrating significant potential for sustainable water resource management in the region.
