Bioremediation of Environmental Toxicants

Bioremediation for Environmental Toxicants: Toxicants, Sources, Mechanism, Impact on Human Health, and Bioremediation Approaches provides insight into the nature of environmental toxicants, the impact on human health, and their bioremediation approaches viz. nanotechnology, microorganism, and phytoremediation. Various environmental toxicants such as pesticides, heavy metal, plastic and microplastics waste, dyes used in industries, colorants, corrosive agents and biomedical waste show different levels of mechanism of toxicity which possess sincere threat to human health as well as the stability of ecosystems. To decontaminate the environment from these toxic compounds a low-cost effective technique is required. Bioremediation is a sustainable approach by which hazardous pollutants are converted into less harmful or non-toxic compounds using effective techniques to detoxify contaminated soil and water. In recent years, research has steadily concentrated on the various bioremediation approaches viz. nanoparticle, microorganism, and phytoremediation, etc.
