The book explores the detrimental effects of anthropogenic activities on soil quality, particularly the contamination of soil with toxic heavy metals like Arsenic, which poses serious health risks through the food chain. It highlights the role of various pollutants and natural processes in soil degradation. The focus is on phytoremediation, showcasing five non-edible hyper-accumulator plants that effectively extract and store Arsenic from contaminated soils, making them less toxic and suitable for reuse.

The book addresses the alarming rise of arsenic contamination in soil due to industrialization, mining, and pesticide use, highlighting its severe health impacts on humans and plants. It emphasizes the importance of remediation, particularly through phytoremediation, an effective and cost-efficient method that utilizes hyper-accumulator plants to absorb and store heavy metals from the soil. This process not only cleanses the soil but also restores its usability, making it a vital solution for environmental health.

Die Arsenkontamination des Bodens ist ein alarmierendes Umweltproblem, das durch Industrialisierung und Pestizide verstärkt wird. Das Buch behandelt die gesundheitlichen Risiken von Arsen und die toxischen Auswirkungen auf Pflanzen. Es stellt die Phytosanierung vor, eine effektive Methode zur Entfernung von Schwermetallen mithilfe von Hyperakkumulator-Pflanzen.
