Due to the extensive contamination of soils with heavy metals and their problems, the removal of these pollutants has been considered in different areas. With regard to the irresolvable issue of heavy metals, stabilization and use of plants for the treatment of contaminated soils are considered to be effective methods in this field because of their positive yields which require relatively long time. The use of nanomaterials due to their unique adsorbent and catalytic properties has been incorporated as one of the effective techniques for the removal of heavy metals from soils. Accordingly, in recent years, researchers have used nanoparticles and plants to synthesize heavy metal-contaminated soils, which has led to positive results. These findings also indicated that toxicity in plants is increased when the concentration of nanomaterials becomes unfettered. This robust overview gives an insight into the analysis of the combined effects of plants and nanomaterials’ implications of the heavy metal-contaminated soils. Given the challenges of simultaneous application of plants and nanomaterials in the cleanup of contaminated soils, the success of this method will require further studies on the minimum or maximum nanomaterials utilization and the mechanism of the reaction of nanomaterials in soils and plants. |
