Resumen
The discharge of toxic chemicals into water bodies and their linked detrimental effects on health is a global concern. Phytoremediation, an environment-friendly plant-based technology, has gained intensive interest over the last decades. For the aquatic phytoremediation process, the commonly available duckweeds have recently attracted significant attention due to their capacity to grow in diverse ecological niches, fast growth characteristics, suitable morphology for easy handling of biomass, and capacity to remove and detoxify various potential toxic elements and compounds. This review presents the progress of duckweed-assisted aquatic phytoremediation of toxic chemicals. A brief background of general phytoremediation processes, including the different phytoremediation methods and advances in understanding their underlying mechanisms, has been described. A summary of different approaches commonly practiced to assess the growth of the plants and their metal removal capacity in the phytoremediation process has also been included. A vast majority of studies have established that duckweed is an efficient plant catalyst to accumulate toxic heavy metals and organic contaminants, such as pesticides, fluorides, toxins, and aromatic compounds, reducing their toxicity from water bodies. The potential of this plant-based phytoremediation process for its downstream applications in generating value-added products for the rural economy and industrial interest has been identified.
