The article presents the latest findings concerned with environmental problems and solutions in the mining industry using technologies of phytoremediation based on the natural ability of plants to accumulate toxic elements, including heavy metals, in their biomass. The review of applied ecological research shows that phytoremediation and absorption of toxic elements is implemented in all climate zones on all continents. Recent studies in phytoremediation pay much attention to introduction of organic substances in polluted soil to decrease or increase effect of accumulation of heavy metals by plants. Each research work actualizes removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils using indigenous plants.
