MYCOREMEDIATION OF HEAVY METALS AND HYDROCARBONS CONTAMINATED ENVIRONMENT
Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Biological treatment is the best method for remediating hydrocarbons and heavy metal contaminated environment by breaking down them into harmless substances. Mycoremediation is one of new technology which can be practiced with fungus for management of polluted environments. The apprehension over the perseverance, nature and presence of co-contamination of metals and polycyclic aromatic organic in the environment has increased due to their impact on the environment. Mixtures of harmful surplus are widely increased in the sites of unhygienic soil and groundwater that often varying concentrations. They are incorporated with brackish, carbon-based components, heavy metals, and dangerous compounds. There are various methods for the management of contaminated environment, these are: physical, chemical and biological. The main drawback of physicochemical approaches has been mainly owed to the high cost, low competence, limited versatility, and intrusion by other wastewater components and the handling of the excess generated. The biotic action of contaminated environment is an economically and ecologically attractive alternative to the present physicochemical methods of treatment. This review summarizes the recent developments, ideas on the mycoremediation of hydrocarbon and heavy metals contaminated environment that are environmental concern in risky places using fungi.
