This study explores the phytoremediation potential of soybean and broad bean plant varieties exposed to a 1,000 ppm concentration of MTBE (Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether) over a five-day period. The research includes an overview of MTBE, its pollution facts, and phytoremediation theory. A detailed description of the materials, instrumentation, and procedures employed, along with graphical data analyses and results, form the core of the investigation. Future applications for phytoremediation and suggestions for overcoming experimental challenges are also discussed.
