Phytoremediation and Allelopathy as an Element of Sustainable Circular Economy to Prevent Environmental Pollution
SKRZYPCZAK-PIETRASZEK Ewa, PIETRASZEK Anna G.
Abstract. Climate change and environmental pollution are an increasing threat to social well-being. Implemented technological measures to counteract pollutant emissions can reduce the current stream emitted to the environment, but they cannot reduce the existing deposits in industrial dumps and landfills. Phytochemistry and biotechnology come to the rescue here, proposing the use of phytoremediation and allelopathy, which, although slow in terms of process, can be implemented at low cost on a large scale as an element of land reclamation and recovery of some valuable raw materials within the framework of a sustainable circular economy. This article presents possible solutions in a review form.
