Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) remediation has become a matter of concern since it is a biohazard. The review summarizes the phytoremediation technologies to clean up the PCB contaminated sites efficiently and economically. The physical and chemical properties of these chemicals were understood. Their ill effects to animals, plants and environment were compiled together and the treatment strategies with the use of mainly plants and micro-organisms were summarized using the latest researches about the remediation of these chemicals. Social and ecological issues relating to PCBs were discussed in this review as well. The advantages of phytoremediation technology over chemical remediation technology as well as the limitations have also been discussed. The limitations of the current phytoremediation technologies has given way to further discussion and research on this topic.
