Role of Bioremediation in Environmental Sustainable Development

Muhammad Nasir Sulaiman, Ma’aruf Abdulmumin Muhammad, Abubakar Abdullahi Tijjani, Ramgopal Dhakar

Abstract

The Earth is currently experiencing a growing pollution crisis that is endangering both ecosystems and human health. Conventional approaches to remediation, frequently severe and not environmentally friendly, find it difficult to keep up. Conventional approaches to remediation frequently fall short, resulting in a lasting impact of damage. Bioremediation is an eco-friendly and economical process that utilizes microorganisms to remediate polluted surroundings in a more advanced manner. The importance of sustainable development has become crucial. Quick industrial growth and careless disposal of waste have led to pollution of soil, water, and air with various harmful substances such as heavy metals, pesticides, and hydrocarbons. These impurities present significant risks to human well-being, ecological balance, the safety of food, and the ability to continue progressing in a sustainable manner. Previous studies have looked into different physicochemical methods for pollution control such as incineration, chemical use, thermal remediation, and landfilling, but these methods usually have downsides like being expensive, having limited usage, and causing additional environmental harm. Furthermore, they do not tackle the main source of pollution. Bioremediation makes use of naturally existing microorganisms like Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas, Rhodococcus, Alcaligenes, and Mycobacterium. This paper aims to evaluate the possibilities of bioremediation and its integration into sustainable development strategies, which can help restore ecosystems, improve soil quality, and reduce the impacts of climate change. Assess the efficiency of different in-situ and ex-situ bioremediation methods, analyzing their benefits and drawbacks. This article ends with a powerful plea for action, encouraging policymakers, researchers, and the public to fully realize the potential of bioremediation and work together towards a more sustainable future.
