ABSTRACT
Nanotechnology has developed at a noteworthy speed over the last decade. Specifically, designed nanomaterials are currently effectively applied in medication, biomedical items, drugs, gadgets, designing materials, farming, ecological remediation, cosmetics, and even kids’ toys. With the increasing production and use of nanomaterials in day-to-day life, it is obvious to expect a remarkable increase in nanomaterials in the environment. With the increase in nanomaterials in the environment, it is important to think of ways to remediate nanomaterials before it starts interacting with the environment and making them toxic in any way the nanomaterials in the environment should be reduced to the World Health Organization's maximum contamination limit. Many plant varieties have shown promising results in the ability to accumulate various engineered metallic nanoparticles. Phytoremediation has come across as one of the most promising ways of soil and water remediation, this methodology exploits the extraordinary and specific take-up capacities of plant root frameworks, and applies translocation, bioaccumulation, and ensures the accumulation of these toxic nanomaterials away from the environment in the plant system. Further ecotoxicological studies and prediction of future environmental conditions need to be performed to study the permissible levels for use of different nanomaterials so that phytoremediation can be performed successfully without tarnishing the plant system. Further detailed studies on hyperaccumulators, which have shown promising results in the phytoremediation of nanoparticles, should be done for the optimization of safe use of nanomaterials.
