Case study of phytoremediation of heavy metal by using vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanoides) / Mohamad Helmi Mat Ghani

Enhancement of geologic and anthropogenic activities cause existing of heavy metal become a major environment concern across the world nowadays. The severe release of heavy metals into the soil cause long-lasting effects on the ecosystem as they cannot be broken down into non-toxic forms. Phytoremed...
