some farmers also use this liquid household for irrigation purpose without knowing the harm of this wastewater on soil health (Singh 2013a, b, 2014, 2015a, b, c,
d, 2016). So these are the major environmental degrading sources, but the use of
some new and sustainable technology like biological- and chemical-based treatment could help to overcome the toxic effect of pollutants on soil productivity
(Kelly et al. 2014). Remediation and rehabilitation of the contaminated soils and
hazardous waste can be achieved by phytostabilization, a long-term and costeffective rehabilitation strategy, through promoting the revegetation to reduce the
