Today, water pollution is a global challenge that, in addition to developing countries, is also present in developed countries. This global challenge is linked to economic growth, environmental health, and the health of billions of people. Water can be consumed by living organisms directly or indirectly by entering agricultural products, and the quantity and quality of life of living organisms, especially plants and humans, will suffer from serious problems. Today, agriculture is still recognized as the most important source of water pollution in the world and industrial activities are an important complement to this pollution. Various factors can cause water pollution, the most important of which are microbial, chemical, and heavy metal pollution. Heavy metals generally reduce the growth and yield of plants, and their effects on humans can lead to a variety of diseases, including cancer. Although prevention is the most important way to control water and heavy metal contaminants, there are several ways to remove them from the environment, one of the most important of which is phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is a type of bioremediation in which the plant is used to reduce the concentration or toxic effects of pollutants in the environment. This article reviews the types of heavy metals and their sources, the effects of heavy metals on humans and plants, and methods for repairing soils contaminated with heavy metals.
Keywords: Environment, Heavy metals, Phytoremediation, Pollution.
