Wastewater Pollution, Types and Treatment Methods Assisted Different Amendments. A Review

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Managing Plant Production Under Changing Environment

Abstract

Mining activities, industrial processing, domestic and agricultural use of metal and metal-containing compounds have resulted in the release of toxic metals into the atmosphere, which has become a widespread environmental problem as a result of global industrialization. Metal contamination has grave consequences for human health and the environment. Few heavy metals are toxic and lethal in trace quantities, and others are teratogenic, mutagenic and endocrine disruptors, while others cause behavioural and neurological disorders. As a result, heavy metal remediation from polluted sites could be the only viable alternative for reducing the harmful effects on ecosystem health. Reclamation methods used in the past were both costly and detrimental to the ecosystem. Phytoremediation is a modern set of technologies that utilises green plants to eliminate toxins from the atmosphere. It has been promoted as a cost-effective and noninvasive alternative to traditional engineering-based remediation methods. The use of organic chelators such as citric acid, ascorbic acid, oxalic acid etc., increased metal uptake and accumulation in plant roots, stems and leaves significantly. Thus, keeping in view the above facts, an attempt has been made in this article to review the best remediation technique, and the role of different amendments in increasing heavy metals uptake and accumulation in along with their ameliorating role in plant stress by supporting its normal growth and functioning.
