Contamination of the different components of environment through
industrial and anthropogenic activities have guided new eras of
research. This has lead to development of strategies/methodologies
to curtail/minimize environmental contamination. Research studies
conducted all over the globe established that bioremediation play a
promising role in minimizing environmental contamination. In the
last decade, phytoremediation studies have been conducted on a vast
scale. Initial research in this scenario focused on screening
terrestrial plant species that remove contaminants from soil and
air. Later, scientific community realized that water is a basic
necessity for sustaining life on earth and quality of which is
getting deteriorated day by day. This initiated studies on
phytoremediation using aquatic plants. Role of aquatic plant
species in cleaning water bodies was also explored. Many of the
aquatic plant species showed potential to treat domestic, municipal
and industrial wastewaters and hence their use in constructed
wetlands for treating wastewaters was emphasized. The present book
contains five chapters. First two chapters provide information
about types of contaminants commonly reported in wastewaters and
enlists some important and well studied aquatic plant species known
for their potential to remove various contaminants from wastewater.
Subsequent chapters deal with mechanisms involved in contaminant
removal by aquatic plant species, and also provide detailed
information about role of aquatic plant species in wetlands.
Potential of constructed wetlands in cleaning domestic and
industrial wastewaters has also been discussed in detail. The
strategy for enhancing phytoremediation capacity of plants by
different means and effectiveness of phytoremediation technology in
terms of monitory benefits has been discussed in last chapter. Last
chapter also emphasizes the future aspects of this technology.
