Bioelectrochemical and Conventional Bioremediation of Environmental Pollutants
Author(s): John M Pisciotta and James J Dolceamore JrJohn M Pisciotta and James J Dolceamore Jr
Chemical pollutants can adversely affect human and environmental health. In sediments, pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals and pesticides have the potential to exert an array of toxic effects on susceptible organisms. Certain chemicals including dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), various pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting agents (ex. nonylphenol) are recalcitrant in sediments, complicating removal. Agents such as dioxins bioaccumulate in plant and animal tissues used for human consumption. Traditional bioremediation employs applied or autochthonous organisms to breakdown or immobilize such environmental contaminants to less hazardous forms. Bacteria, fungi and phototrophs can be used as inexpensive, self-replicating catalysts to metabolize or otherwise neutralize pollutants. Bacteria are particularly useful since metabolically versatile r.. View More»
