http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoremediation
I was Googling to learn which trees are best to absorb the most CO2 when I stumbled across this term. What an amazing concept!
The word's etymology comes from the Greek φυτο (phyto) = plant, and Latin « remedium » = restoring balance, or remediating. Phytoremediation consists in depolluting contaminated soils, water or air with plants able to contain, degrade or eliminate metals, pesticides, solvents, explosives, crude oil and its derivatives, and various other contaminants, from the mediums that contain them.
Check out the full WIKI on this term. It's amazing. I think I am going to learn as much about this as possible so I can plant wisely and with purpose!
