A Systematic Review on the Phytoremediation Potential of Grass Species in Ethiopia. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournalEnvironmental contamination has shown an increasing trend due to urbanization, industrialization, and the intensive use of pesticides and fertilizers in Ethiopia. In response to this, phytoremediation has gained attention as an inexpensive and eco‐friendly approach to the protection of soil, water, and air from contamination.
