Application of green bioremediation technology for soil, water and air remediation
Abstract: Pollution, a serious environmental problem has been attaining the considerable public awareness over the last decades. Contaminated water streams and landfills represent a technical challenge. New and green technologies are needed to remove innumerable waste especially those which are toxic. Bioremediation is an green technology which is widely used to reduce the toxic pollutants from the environment, with this technology utilization of plants and other biological entities (microbes and enzymes) to cleanup pollutants (metal and organic) from the environment is done which is not only offering eco-friendly approach but are also cost effective. Waste generation is one of the most visible and biggest problems that affect virtually all environments. As per the World Bank data, waste generation levels are approximately 1.3 billion tons per year, and are expected to increase to approximately 2.2 billion tons per year by 2025. Modern lifestyle is responsible for increasing a waste generation; the data represents a significant increase in per capita waste generation rates, from 1.2 to 1.42 kg per person per day in the next fifteen years. Thus, the situation requires urgent plans and strategies for the management of waste and associated complications. Bioremediation is a green approach to reduce the enormous waste and reduce pollutants which harm the environment; therefore, bioremediation is an irreplaceable weapon for vast application in the monarchy of environmental protection.
