To write:
The process used to detoxify a polluted area using living organism.
Introduction:
Biodiversity is often lost in an environment due to which the abiotic and biotic factors that required a healthy ecosystem are no longer available. Due to certain human activities, such as mining, the land is placed in a state that does not support biodiversity. Accidental oil spills and harmful chemical spills pollute an environment in such a way that the native organisms could not survive there. Biological communities could recover from natural and man-made disasters. They may require a longer time to recover it if the impact was larger. Ecologists use two approaches for restoring the damaged environment, and they are biological augmentation and bioremediation.
Explanation of Solution
Bioremediation is the method of using living organisms, such as
Bioremediation is the process of using living organisms to remove toxic substances from the polluted ecosystem.
