Quick phytoremediation question

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-11-06] [Hit: ]
If animals eat these plants, biomagnification can occur and you may be killing off the local apex predators.......
What are some disadvantages of using phytoremediation?

Thanks!!

-
1. Can't do it in the dark.
2. Not applicable to all situations, e.g. the toxic material is farther down than the roots reach.
3. If you're using a plant that concentrates toxic metals in its tissues, then you have the problem of disposing of a lot of plants that are enriched in toxic metals.
4. If animals eat these plants, biomagnification can occur and you may be killing off the local apex predators.
