  • Abstract:
  • Water is essential natural resources for human life. Increase in water demand poses new tasks for water resources organizers to keep pace with the increase in population. It is essential for sustaining all forms of life, food production and economic development and for all general wellbeing. Heavy metals are among the most important sorts of contaminant in the environment. Currently, phytoremediation is an effective and affordable technological solution used to extract or remove inactive metals and metal pollutants from contaminated water. This technology is environmentally friendly and potentially cost effective. This paper aims to compile some information about heavy metal of Cadmium (Cd) effects and their treatment. It also reviews deeply about phytoremediation technology, including the heavy metal uptake mechanisms and several research studies associated about the topics and also heavy metal uptake mechanisms in phytoremediation technology as well as the factors affecting the uptake mechanisms. Some recommended plants which are commonly used in phytoremediation and their capability to reduce the contaminant are also reported.
