Abstract:
Chhattisgarh is rich in mineral resource. At many places the work on the metal analysis has been performed but Baikunthpur area which is thickly surrounded by coalmines, soil of these areas are affected by the coal mining activities, so that their monitoring is very much required. Phytoremediation is a natural method which has yet not been used in this estimated area. In this research work Phytoremediation method has been introduced to reduce or remove heavy metals in contaminated soil. With the study’s goal in mind, the sampling sites are chosen so as to cover the regions surrounding the Baikunthpur district in Chhattisgarh, India, where there is a significant likelihood of contamination
