Phytoremediation
Bioremediation was defined as "the process of judiciously exploiting biological processes to minimize an unwanted environmental impact; usually it is the removal of a contaminant form the biosphere." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/0471238961.0209151816180914.a01/abstract Prince, 2000 Phytoremediation is the concept of removing these pollutans either directly by plants themselves or by specialized bacteria living in an symbiosis with plants.
There is a multitude of different pollutants that are primary targets for remediation such as Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), insecticides such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), heavy metals such as cadmius or mercury or phrmaceutical products such as diclofenac or ethynyl estradiol .
