Vertical phytoremediation of wastewater using Vetiveria zizanioides L.

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021
In many areas, wastewater feeds water bodies, which leads to it being non-usable for agricultural and other uses. Phytoremediation is a scientific approach which cleans contaminated waters, demanding large areas for application. Vertical agriculture is a new method to compact plant cultures. This study investigates vertical wastewater phytoremediation (
