5 Conclusion
Phytoremediation is an accustomed and eco-friendly design for the removal of toxic
substances present in nature. Traversing into the understanding of the working of it
would certainly increase our realization, thus making us go for the suitable process
of phytoremediation. The appropriate plant species for the removal of heavy metals
in sewage water can also be allocated according to the waste material and toxic
elements.
Phytoremediation manifests favorable results in cleaning up the environment of
various toxic elements, though it requires more research attempts. The water treated
with phytoremediation can be used for various purposes like irrigation; gardening
and cleaning. Thus phytoremediation accounts for the conservation of water.
According to previous studies, it was highly notable that S.molesta is capable of
removing heavy metal contaminants from wastewater. This plant could also be
helpful as a bio-indicator for the determination of heavy metal pollution in wastewater. Furthermore, researches have to be carried out and will be useful in more
understanding of S. molesta in phytoremediation. The use of S.molesta will be a
promising approach in the removal of toxic elements and aids in bio-conservation.
