Is phytoremediation a sustainable and reliable approach to clean-up contaminated water and soil in Alpine areas?

Background, Aim, and Scope Phytoremediation exploits natural plant physiological processes and can be used to decontaminate agricultural soils, industrial sites, brownfields, sediments, and water containing inorganic and organic pollutants. It can also improve food chain safety through phytostabilization of toxic elements. This is a low-cost and environmentally friendly technology targeting the removal, degradation, or immobilization of contaminants.
