Abstract
Polluted soil poses serious health risks to wildlife and humans particularly due to dust inhalation. A method called phytoremediation can be used to absorb contamination, such as heavy metals, from the soil. This consolidates the contamination for disposal and establishes growth on soils to prevent erosion and more widespread contamination. Brassica rapa is a common field mustard, which has a rapid lifecycle and can be grown under a variety of conditions. This plant could be a practical, wide-ranging tool for soil cleanup.

Abstract
Plants have long been adapting the traits necessary to survive in a wide variety of stressful environments – including areas of high salinity, extreme heat, drought, and freezing temperatures – but now, using genetic modification, scientists have been able to expand the role that plants play in the environment. With the advent of transgenic biotechnology, plants can be enhanced with qualities that not only allow them to flourish in stressed environments but also allow them to be used in the effort to alleviate certain environmental stresses. Phytoremediators, plants that are used to clean-up soil in contaminated areas, can remove heavy metals, arsenic, petroleum, TNT, and many other elements from toxic soil.
