ABSTRACT
The components of biosphere are polluted by variety of organic and inorganic pollutants which affect the normal biogeochemical cycle of living system. A variety of biological resources have been employed both in developed developing nations for clean up various environmental pollutants. These techniques have gain popularity in the last one decade and are currently in the process of commercialization. The air water and soil have been contaminated as a result of industrial revolution and increasing urbanization. Bioremediation is the technique of use of various bioactive agents like micro-organism, enzymes, and plants for cleaning environment. This technique offers an attractive ecofriendly and cost effective approach through remediate metals, radioactive pollutants, pesticide residue and air pollutants (harmful gases like, SO2, CO, CFC etc.)
Key words :
Bioremidiation, eco-friendly, heavy metals, pesticide metabolism, phytoremediation, Rhizosphere.
