Hello everyone! Here's an article about Bioremediation..... Bioremediation is a branch of biotechnology that employs the use of living organisms in the removal of contaminants, pollutants, and toxins from soil, water, and other environments. These organisms can include microbes and bacteria.Bioremediation relies on stimulating the growth of certain microbes that utilize contaminants including oil, solvents, and pesticides for sources of food and energy. These microbes convert contaminants into small amounts of water as well as harmless gases such as carbon dioxide. Bioremediation requires a combination of the right temperature, nutrients, and foods. The absence of these elements can prolong the cleanup of contaminants. Conditions that are unfavorable for bioremediation can be improved by adding “amendments” to the environment such as molasses, vegetable oil, or simple air. These amendments optimize conditions for microbes to flourish, accelerating the completion of the bioremediation process. Bioremediation can be done "in situ," at the site of the contamination, or "ex situ," at a location away from the site. Ex situ bioremediation may be necessary if the climate is too cold to sustain microbe activity or if the soil is too dense for nutrients to distribute evenly. Ex situ bioremediation can require excavation and cleaning of the soil above ground and this can add significant costs to the process. Bioremediation offers numerous advantages over other cleanup methods. It minimizes damage to ecosystems by relying solely on natural processes. Bioremediation often takes place underground where amendments and microbes can be pumped to clean up contaminants in groundwater and soil. Bioremediation doesn't disrupt nearby communities as much as other cleanup methodologies as a result. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking
