Resumé

Traditional methods of restoring E-waste contaminated sites via typical techniques such as physical treatment, subsequent excavating or dredging after disposal and chemical treatment, and application of chemical amendments or techniques involve exorbitant cost. Therefore developing of new low-cost and environment-friendly methods for removal of contaminants from E-waste contaminated sites is a rising global concern, where biological treatment, particularly phyto/bioremediation, plays a significant role. Phytoremediation, which utilizes plant to accumulate and store and/or degrade pollutants from the soil is considered as an extremely appealing method that could be employed effectively for in-site remediation of trace metals and organic pollutants. Therefore this chapter will extensively discuss the applicability of phytoremediation to remediate E-waste contaminated sites.
