The earth is currently dealing with a variety of issues and is losing its potential as a result of climate change brought on by increasing industrialization and urbanization. Harmful metals wastes generated by anthropogenic processes such as household, municipal, agricultural, industrial, and military operations penetrate the soil, decreasing its quality and usefulness. Because soil is the foundation of life, it necessitates excellent remediation activity. The problem of soil pollution is no longer being ignored because it is limited or no new land to replace. Therefore, the objective of this review paper is to explore the concepts and promises of basic phytoremediation approaches for heavy metal-contaminated soils. The use of living organisms, particularly plants (phytoremediation), is one of the remediation approaches that is now being used. In comparison to other soil remediation approaches, phytoremediation is an effective and affordable technology that can work with few maintenance costs once established, is suited for vast regions with low to moderate amounts of contaminants, and is ecologically benign. Phytoremediation, on the other hand, is a long-term remediation option, and not all of its remediation procedures are optimal. For example, in the case of phytovolatilization, air pollution may occur, while in the case of phytoextraction, pollutants collected in leaves may be released back into the environment during litterfall. Therefore, future concerns should be directed toward the modification and improvement of phytoremediation technologies that are likely to improve metal-binding abilities in plant tissues and phyto-transform toxic metals. Finally, it is critical to minimize or avoid the release of harmful compounds into the environment, in addition to enhancing and adapting various techniques.
