Title Of Article :
Bioremediation of Contaminated Soil
Abstract :
The world s increasing population caused the increase of soil pollution and the level of pollution increased proportional to development. Nowadays the control of wastes originated from food, health and automobile industries gained special importance. Accumulation of pollutants in soil had important effects on not only soil productivity and ecosystem functions but also human and animal health via food chain. Bioremediation, comprising the use of microorganisms for destroying the pollutants and preventing toxification, is an effective biotechnological method providing elimination of environmental pollution. This study has included information and techniques about bioremediation of polluted soils. Bioremediation is a natural and economical process so it is more advantageous than the other processes. However, longer treatment periods and lower efficiencies with high pollutant concentrations limited the use of the method.
