Engineering and the Environment
Bioremediation is a process that uses living organisms, typically microorganisms, to remove or neutralize contaminants from soil and water. This technique is particularly effective for addressing hazardous waste and pollution by leveraging the natural metabolic processes of these organisms to break down harmful substances into less toxic forms. It plays a critical role in hazardous waste management and environmental cleanup efforts, promoting the restoration of contaminated sites and enhancing ecological health.
