bioremediation technologies

Bioremediation is a process that uses living organisms, mainly microbes, to clean up contaminated environments, such as soil and water. These organisms break down harmful substances, like oil spills or heavy metals, into less toxic or non-toxic forms. There are two main types: *in situ*, where the cleanup happens at the contamination site, and *ex situ*, where contaminated materials are removed for treatment. Bioremediation is an eco-friendly solution as it harnesses nature's ability to restore balance, reducing pollution and promoting healthier ecosystems without using harsh chemicals.
