INVESTIGATING THE DEGRADATION PATHWAYS OF VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS
Keywords:
Environmental, Organism, Biodegradation, Pollutants and ChemicalsAbstract
The preservation of Earth's three primary environmental components—water, soil, and air— is crucial to the maintenance of life as we know it. Multiple forms of physical, biological, and chemical pollution are present in the environment at varying intensities. There are a plethora of biological, chemical, and physical remediation methods that have been created for environmental protection, both in situ and ex situ. High cost, processing time, and environmental feasibility are a few of the constraints of most approaches. When opposed to chemical and physical methods, biological ones tend to be less harmful to the environment. The intricacy of the pollutant composition further adds to the difficulty of the clean-up process.
