Industrialization and urbanization are important for economic development which makes the human life easy by providing different job opportunities, increasing the production level of cheaper goods and standard of living. Despite its many positive effects, industrialization has had a negative impact on the natural ecosystem through environmental pollution. It is responsible for a greater input of potentially toxic and non-toxic substances into essential environmental components such as air, soil and water. Continuous industrialization has resulted in significant environmental problems due to the release of pollutants and extremely difficult treatment of contaminated areas. This review focuses on the recent literature dealing with the role of Plant Growth Promoting Microbes (PGPMs), i.e. bacteria and Arbuscular mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) in the remediation of polluted sites.

Keywords: detoxification; hyperaccumulator plants; plant growth promoting rhizobacteria; mycorrhiza; risk elements; synergistic interactions
