Environmental Bioremediation

A Growing Need

Eutrophication, often caused by human water pollution, is the concentrated increase of phosphorus, nitrogen and other plant nutrients in an aging aquatic ecosystem, such as a lake, reducing the dissolved oxygen. High concentrations of algae and microscopic organisms typically develop on the surface, blocking light penetration and oxygen absorption necessary for underwater life. It is one of the most common water-quality management problems of lakes and reservoirs all over the world.

It’s estimated the following breakdown of lakes are eutrophic:

54%

in Asia

53%

in Europe

48%

in North America

41%

in South America

28%

in Africa

Petroleum is one of the most utilized energy resources and a central raw material of the chemical industry. Oil spills during exploration, transportation, and refining, can cause some environmental problems to soil and groundwater. Used and abandoned sites contain soils contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons as a result of spills and leaks during the years of industrial activities at the site.
