In recent decades phytoremediation technique had been successfully utilized for its possible application in the field of remediation of contaminated sites. Both inorganic and organic contaminants are responsible for the pollution of environment i.e. soil and water. Phytoremediation because of its cost effectiveness and no generation of any secondary by-products has been given preference over other method of treatment as they are responsible for generation of secondary by-product that further requires treatment. Various types of plants are being employed in this technique. Various environmental factors including pH, availability of fertilizer, initial concentration of contaminant and activity of microbes plays an important role important role in the process of phytoremediation. Various factors that affect the process of phytoremediation are discussed in the present paper with main aim to develop the understanding among the researcher so that phytoremediation technique can be employed very easily.
