Abstract:
Phytoremediation potential of sunflower fertilized with urban solid waste and irrigated with wastewater. Currentlypopulationgrowth, thegenerationof municipal
solidwasteandwaterscarcityisincreasingwildly, generating as consequencesof
environmental degradation. New waysofreusingsuchwastehavebeenstudied as totheir
