Implication

Literature review reveals substantial heavy metal uptake by bryophytes in contaminated water, suggesting their viable application as biosorbents for phytofiltration.

Key Points

Mosses effectively remove toxic heavy metals from contaminated water through both adsorption and absorption, functioning without apparent physiological damage.
Tested bryophytes accumulate target elements including lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, arsenic, and chromium, utilizing wet or dry biomass as an active biofilter.
Literature review highlights the strong prospect of moss biomass for water remediation, calling for further research to scale phytofiltration in industrial settings.
