ABSTRACT

Because of population growth, industrialisation, and urbanisation, environmental contamination is increasing on a daily basis. It could be harmful to people’s health. Contamination poses a threat to human health and the environment, prompting international efforts to combat the problem. Bioremediation is the best solution for pollution removal. It is the most effective novel technology for degrading or preventing pollution through the employment of living microorganisms. It is a multidisciplinary approach, but microbiology is at the heart of it. Biostimulation, bioaugmentation, bioaccumulation, biosorption, phytoremediation, and rhizoremediation are some of the strategies used in this technology. The purpose of this review is to highlight the limitations and constraints associated with several commonly used bioremediation procedures, as well as to assess the potential uses of these remedial strategies for pesticide removal from the environment.
