“Ananas comosus-Mediated Phytoremediation Of Heavy Metals: A Comprehensive Analysis Of Metal Uptake, Physico-Chemical Parameters, And Soil Quality"

Abstract

Soil contamination with heavy metals poses a formidable environmental challenge. This pioneering study unlocks the phytoremediation potential of Ananas comosus (pineapple) in mitigating copper (81.2%), lead (87%), chromium (70.4%), arsenic (63.87%), cadmium (75.1%), and nickel (67.4%) pollution. Our findings reveal remarkable reductions in heavy metal concentrations, with Ananas comosus demonstrating exceptional efficiency in removing these toxic pollutants. A comprehensive analysis of soil parameters (pH, organic matter, and nutrient content) sheds light on the intricacies of phytoremediation. This groundbreaking research heralds Ananas comosus as a promising solution for sustainable soil decontamination, paving the way for innovative phytoremediation strategies.
