An Overview of the Bioactive Compounds and Bioremediation Potential of Brown Algae
Keywords:
Active carbon, Biosynthesised nanoparticles, Bioremediation, TiO2Abstract
The ability of heavy metals bioaccumulation to cause toxicity in biological systems—human, animals, microorganisms and plant is an important issue for environmental health and safety. The exploitation of different plant materials for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles is considered a green technology because it does not involve any harmful chemicals. This review highlights better understanding of the problems associated with the toxicity of heavy metals to the contaminated ecosystems and their viable, sustainable and eco-friendly bioremediation technologies, especially the mechanisms of phytoremediation of heavy metals. However, the challenges (biosafety assessment and genetic pollution) involved in adopting the new initiatives for cleaning-up the heavy metals-contaminated ecosystems from both ecological and greener point of view must not be ignored.
