Bioremediation

Bioremediation is a waste management technique that involves the utilization of organisms to abstract or neutralize pollutants from a contaminated site.[1] According to the Cumulated States EPA, bioremediation is a “treatment that utilizes naturally occurring organisms to break down hazardous substances into less toxic or non toxic substances”. Technologies can be generally relegated as in situ or ex situ. In situ bioremediation involves treating the contaminated material at the site, while ex situ involves the abstraction of the contaminated material to be treated elsewhere. Some examples of bioremediation cognate technologies are phytoremediation, bioventing, bioleaching, landfarming, bioreactor, composting, bioaugmentation, rhizofiltration, and biostimulation.
