What Are Bioremediation and Its Relevance to Toxicology?
Bioremediation is the application of microbial processes to remove or neutralize contaminants from environments, such as soil and water. This technique is highly relevant to toxicology as it offers a sustainable and cost-effective approach to managing pollution. By leveraging natural microbial mechanisms, bioremediation can mitigate the adverse effects of pollutants, including heavy metals, pesticides, and hydrocarbons.
