Answer 2

The idea that plants can be used for environmental remediation is not new. Extensive research on using plants for treating radionuclide contamination was conducted in Russia in the early 1960s.

(Timofeev-Resovsky et al., 1962). Since then, there have been a number of reports that aquatic plants such as water hyacinth, duckweed and water velvet can accumulate heavy metals from contaminated water (Mo et al, 1989; Jackson et al, 1990).

Recently the value of terrestrial plants for environmental remediation has been recognized (Cunningham and Berti, 1993).
