Effects On Society
Bioremediation is a fairly new technique
within the past ten years that h
as
yielded both remarkable and yet some setback results. As to advantages,
bioremediation is a “natural process”, it destroys the target chemicals, its’
usually less expensive than other technologies, and can be used where the
problem is located. Disadvantages of bioremediation include the fact that little
is still known concerning specifics on its effects in areas having multiple
contaminations, it often takes longer than other treatment methods, and that it
requires constant monitoring to ensure effectiveness.
