What is bioremediation?
Give some exapmles of bioremediation.

Explanation

It is defined as the use of microorganism or plants to clean up environmental pollution. It is an approach used to treat wastes including wastewater, industrial waste and solid waste. Bioremediation proccess is applied to the removal of oil, petrochemical residues, pesticides or heavy metals from soil or ground water. In many cases, Bioremediation process is a cheaper and eco-friendly approach and can be deal with lower concentration of contaminants more effectively. the strategies for biorenediation in soil and water can be as follows:
(i) Use of indigeous microbial population as indicator species for bioremediation process.
(ii) Bioremediation with the addtion of adapted or designed microbial inoculants.
(iii) Use of plants fro bioremediation- green technology.
Some examples of bioremediation technologies are:
(i) Phytroremediation- use of plants to bring about remediation of environmental pollutants.
(ii) Mycoremediation- use of fungi to bring about remediation of envronmental pollutants.
(iii) Bioventing is the process that increases the oxygen or air flow to accelerate the degradation of environmental pollutants.
(iv) Bioleaching is the uses of microorganism in soltuition to recover mental pollutants from contaiminated sites.
