Phytoremediation with Festuca arundinacea: A Mini Review

Nowadays the increase of population and rapid development of technology have caused concerns and environmental problemssuch as pollution of water, air and soil. Therefore searching to reduce the environmental impact of development by researchersand authorities seems to be essential. Among existing technologies, phytoremediation is an efficient, environmentally friendly andinexpensive method to absorb and collect pollutants in harvested tissue. In this method, pollutants are omitted from aquatic andsoil ecosystems through using mechanisms such as rhizofiltration, rhizodegradation. In this regard, several plants have been investigatedby researchers. One of the most important species used in the phytoremediation is Festuca arundinacea. A large number ofstudies investigated the usage of Festuca arundinacea in the treatment of heavy metals and organic compounds. Festuca arundinaceashowed the ability to isolate heavy metals, such as lead, in contaminated environments by its airborne organs and roots. The presentstudy offered to introduce the most important mechanisms of the plant and the potential of Festuca arundinacea for absorption anddecomposition of environmental pollutants and, in particular, the purification of contaminated soils.
