Phytoremediation of untreated wastewater using wetland plants: implications for water quality improvement and sustainable lettuce production.
Wastewater reuse in agriculture enhances nutrient availability, potentially increasing the risk of heavy-metal contamination. Phytoremediation using wetland plants such as Phragmites australis and Typha latifolia provides a sustainable approach to treating contaminated water. This study evaluated the effects of irrigat...
