4. Several factors
would accelerate phytoremediation technology. The prime being: genetic
engineering and production of transgenics having tolerance and metal accumulation
ability for use in phytoremediation, facilitating the factors that would
influence the metal bioaccumulation coefficient which inturn will depends
upon heavy metal availability in the soil, absorption, transport and sequestration
etc, and development of low cost technologies for chelate-induced hyperaccumulation. |
