Abstract :
In the rapidly developing world, the contamination of soil, water and air become a serious threat for our environment. Answer lies in adaptation of clean and green technology to remediate the polluted sites in a sustainable ways without depleting the natural resources. This process of Phytoremediation and Rhizomediation has proved to help in amending water and soil pollution successfully without any side effect and help in maintaining the health of environment. There are several methods of Phytoremediation and Rhizoremediation with much option to be chosen for specific types of contaminant and medium. These are eco-friendly method which would help to safeguard natural resources without causing any harm or depleting the quality of environment, which offers the possibility to destroy or render harmful various contaminants by using natural biological activity of plants and microbes to degrade organic compounds in to simple inorganic compounds. The paper deals with recent advancement in the field of Phytoremediation and Rhizomediation and their significant role in combating environmental pollution.
