Phytotechnology Technical and Regulatory Guidance Document
Abstract
Terminology in this field of using plants to remediate, treat, stabilize, and control contaminated media is rather new. Throughout the development process of this document, we referred to the science as phytoremediation. Recently realizing that we are actually discussing a variety of technologies and techniques in various applications to manage a contaminant, a contaminated plume, or the media containing contaminants, we now refer to phytotechnologies as the overarching terminology, while using phytoremediation more precisely to describe contaminant removal or destruction.
