Phytoremediation of Fly-ash Deposit by Weed Plants

Fly ash is a waste product of industrial plants and its proliferation and toxicity have become a global concern nowadays. The management of fly ash deposits becomes imperative from the environmental point of view as the fly ash contains toxic metals that leach to the surrounding environment and can cause environmental risks for soil, air, and water. To overcome this environmental problem, revegetation and phytoremediation are urgently required for management of fly ash deposits. Revegetation with metal tolerant plants for management of fly ash deposits is an important environmental perspective nowadays. This Book highlights the physiological response of metal tolerance and detoxification of native weed species under fly ash amended soil. This book will be of great interest to students and teachers of Environmental Sciences, Agricultural Sciences and life science field as well as practitioners and policymakers involved in management of fly ash deposits.
