Phytoremediation of Organic Pollutants: Uptake and Degradation Mechanisms
شماره ركورد

Abstract
Phytoremediation which is defined as cleaning of the contaminated soil, water and air as a result of human activities by using plants, as an environmentally friendly and alternative technology to be promising. The removal of organic pollutants accumulated in organisms habitat’s as a result of environmental pollution, has a great importance because of their toxic, mutagen and carcinogen structures. Depending on their chemical properties organic pollutants may be degraded in the rhizosphere or taken up by plants, and then may be degradation in plant cells or sequestrated with conjugation in vacuol or cell wall areas or volatilization. In this review, uptake of organic compounds by plants and the degradation mechanisms of them in plant tissues were discussed.
