Prospects and limitations of phytoremediation for the removal of persistent pesticides in the environment.
Environ. Sci. Pollut. Res. 9, 4-17 (2002)
The environmental problems that have arisen from the use of persistent pesticides in the past, and potential sources of further contamination have been discussed. The potential and limitations of phytoremediation for removal of pesticides in the environment have been reviewed. The enzymatic processes in plants that are known to be involved in phytodegradation of pesticides, and possibilities for enhancing them have also been discussed.
