Abstract

Heavy metal contamination in soil and water poses a severe global environmental challenge, particularly in rapidly industrialized regions. While conventional remediation methods exist, their widespread implementation is hindered by high costs, time-intensive processes, and complex technical requirements. This review aimed to explore an innovative approach combining phytoremediation with green-synthesized selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) for enhancing heavy metal removal. Our analysis revealed that plants treated with green-synthesized Se-NPs exhibited more efficient uptake of heavy metals compared to traditional phytoremediation alone. Some key advantages include enhanced metal accumulation capacity, increased plant biomass production, and improved stress tolerance. The green synthesis of Se-NPs, primarily using plant extracts and biological materials, offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to chemical and physical synthesis methods. These biogenic Se-NPs exhibit dual benefits: promoting plant growth and remediation efficiency while demonstrating valuable biological properties, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. Our findings demonstrated that the integrated approach achieved 40–60% greater heavy metal removal compared to conventional methods while also reducing treatment costs by approximately 30%. The review also identified promising applications in large-scale soil restoration projects and agricultural land rehabilitation, suggesting a practical pathway for sustainable environmental remediation.
