Bioremediation of hazardous Heavy Metals from solutions or soil using living or dead microbial biomass
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 6
Abstract
Among the different pollutants found on the earth, heavy metals are of environmental and public health concerns due to their high toxicities and their presence in soil decrease its quality and plant growth and development. Crops or air contaminations with heavy metal influenced human health and caused many health problems due to their accumulated in the human body and in the food chains. Removal of heavy metal from the soil or the environment is of great concern. Plants and microbial removal of heavy metals from soil or solutions is effective, eco-friendly and low coast treatment. Dead or alive microbes have various mechanisms for metal removal. This review is about heavy metals importance, sources, remediation technologies and mechanisms of resistance.
