Abstract

The global environmental condition is under huge stress. The reason could be urbanizationand industrialisation and the ever increasing population and its pressure on the naturalresources. The environmental pollution control has become the most challenging task to dealwith. There are many ways through which pollution can be controlled. One such efficient toolis the bioremediation. The usage of certain microorganisms to degrade or reduce thepollutants like heavy metals or hazardous wastes at a polluted site is known asbioremediation. Expeditious urbanization and highly intensive farming and other humanactivities are the main cause for the land degradation and other pollution problems. Thereview reveals that the toxic pollutants are being released into the environment every day,hence it is emerging as an effective and attractive tool to treat and recover the environment.Keywords: Microorganisms, in situ and ex situ remediation, phytoremediationCite this ArticleVinay KA, Saranya D.
