Biological treatment, bioremediation , is a similar approach used to treat wastes including wastewater, industrial waste and solid waste. The end goal of bioremediation is to remove harmful compounds to improve soil and water quality. [9] Bioremediation Bioremediation is the use of microorganisms to break down environmental contaminants into less dangerous forms. The microorganisms may be indigenous to the contaminated area, or they may have been isolated elsewhere and brought to the contaminated site. The Oxidation Reduction Potential, or redox, in soil and groundwater, together with pH, temperature, oxygen content, electron acceptor/donor concentrations, and breakdown product concentrations, can indirectly monitor the ... It involves the natural or deliberate introduction of these biological agents to enhance the rate of degradation and transformation of pollutants. Bioremediation is a process that uses living organisms, mostly microorganisms and plants, to degrade and reduce or detoxify waste products and pollutants. The scale of global environmental ...
