Abstract
Bioremediation represents a promising approach for addressing environmental pollution by leveraging natural processes to degrade or convert toxic pollutants into more benign forms. This method utilizes biological agents like algae, fungi, bacteria, and viruses to break down pollutants, ideally to undetectable or non-toxic levels, or even mineralize them to harmless compounds like CO2. By doing so, bioremediation not only cleans up contaminated sites but also restores them and prevents future pollution, all without the need for chemical reagents. Environmental pollution, fueled by rapid industrial growth, continues to pose significant threats to ecosystems and human health. Harmful pollutants like BPA, PAHs, PCBs, and pharmaceutical wastes accumulate in the environment, causing ecological damage and endangering various organisms.
