Bioremediation of Legacy Waste Dumpsite
Bioremediation is both the process of removing pollutants from the environment as well as being eco-friendly and substantially more effective when it comes to dealing with waste management.
How does it work?
Bioremediation is the process through which microorganisms are used to remove and detoxify pollutants from soil and water
Why use Bioremediation?
In this day and age when pollutants and the sustainability of the environment are very real, present and clear problems, finding clean and safe solutions is an essential topic. Bioremediation is a safe, clean and effective one. It helps keep the environment free of pollutants with the use of environmentally friendly microbes in the soil and in water.
Bioremediation and Bio-Mining are clearly specified as the first choice under Rules for the Safe Treatment of Legacy Waste in all open dumpsites and existing operational dumpsites in India.
Why is bioremediation necessary ?
- Solid Waste management is a major challenge in urban areas throughout the world.
- Without an effective and efficient solid-waste management program, the waste generated from various human activities, can result in health hazards and have a negative impact on the environment.
- Continuous and uncontrolled discharge of industrial and urban waste into the environment has become an issue of major global concern.
- The industrial and anthropogenic activities have also led to the contamination of agricultural lands which result in the loss of biodiversity.
