About

    Bioremediation is the process of using living organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and plants, to clean up or remove contaminants from the environment. These organisms have the ability to break down, degrade, or metabolize various pollutants, including organic compounds, heavy metals, and toxins, into less harmful substances. Bioremediation is considered a sustainable and cost-effective method for environmental cleanup, as it can often be implemented on-site, minimizing the need for costly and disruptive excavation or disposal methods. This field of research continues to develop innovative techniques and strategies for remediation of contaminated sites, in order to protect and restore the health of ecosystems and human populations.
