I am a student studying for the Horticulturalists Certificate at Guelph University. We have been encouraged to read about phytoremediation. One of my classmates raised the question of "what happens to the plants used" and "what about the birds and bees that feed off the plants used in phytoremediation". I have just spent a couple of hours trying to find out with not much success. Everything I read is very vague about what happens to the plants used. I get the impression they are incinerated or landfilled but no one seems to want to talk about it. So it was a relief to read your blog which does raise the possibility of "downsides" to this process. Thanks Thanks for this.
