Statement of the Problem
Automotive battery manufacturing industry has been known to pollute the environment with Lead, a component of automotive battery. Work on an automotive battery in question indicated the pollution of the environment with Lead. Hence the remediation of this environment is important for cleaning the environment of this lead pollutant. Hence the work on phytoremediation of the environment using non-edible flowering plants. Other remediation processes such as Chemical extraction, Bioremediation, Dehalogenation, Solar detoxification, Soil washing exist but the most current and ecofriendly process is phytoremediation. Literature had it that some edible plants such as, Abelmoschus esculentus, Talinum triangulare and Vigna unguiculata have been used in the past to treat heavy metal pollution of the soil. This practice was not recommendable as both humans and animals are at high health risk should they consume such plants (vegetables) thus choice of non-edible flowering plants such as Duranta erecta, Aloe barbadensis, Hibiscus 4 rosasinensis,Ficus benjamina, Ageratum houstonianum,Gaillardiax grandiflora,Euphorbia milivarspendens and Ixora coccinea to clean up lead polluted soil.
