The quality of the land, water, and atmosphere are all impacted by environmental contamination. Considerable efforts have lately been made to reduce pollution-causing sources and repair or improve natural soil and water resources. Nano-phytoremediation is more efficient and less hazardous than chemical and physical approaches. They are becoming more and more significant in this field as well as in academia. Different plant species have demonstrated the ability of nanoparticles to remediate soil and water. It is also to be expected that new environmental clean-up methods will be significantly influenced by the most recent biotechnology research. The aim of this paper is to summarise the most significant advancements in phytoremediation immediately. Plants have considerable development potential from the perspective of their phytoremediation qualities. These plants take in contaminants from the soil, water, and other natural resources. New strategies that are targeted by pollutants include segmenting enzyme activity into plant structures. Most contaminants, including heavy metals, are covered by industrial effluents and have been the subject of epidemiological research. It is fascinating to research the risks of these pollutants to develop preventive action against them. This will help us understand the fate of nanomaterials in the environment and environmentally sustainable techniques to remove them from the atmosphere.
