What are the limitations to bioremediation?
There is much misinformation about bioremediation and a general lack of experience with the actual process of bioremediation in most industries. Bioremediation is often underestimated and neglected by industry as an alternative to pollution control. Despite the obvious economic and environmental benefits of bioremediation, industries tend to maintain the status quo of waste hauling and disposal practices which have not remedied the pollution. Traditional industry pollution control practices tend to favor the transport and relocation of waste as opposed to the transformation of waste into harmless by products.
