One interesting technology used in phytoremediation for accumulated heavy metals in soils: plants. Many plants are known as "hyperaccumulators" of various metals. Medicago sativa (Alfalfa) and Dittrichia viscosa (Yellow Fleabane) for example were found to be suitable for mercury phytoremidiation in a study[1]. Lichen and mosses may also be suitable for above-ground bioaccumulation of mercury[2] [1] https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269629648_Hyperaccumulators_of_mercury_in_the_industrial_area_of_a_PVC_factory_in_Vlora_Albania https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269629648_Hyperaccu...
