Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bioremediation is most effective for a few specific organic wastes such as petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides, and other organic chemicals. This is because bacteria and other microorganisms can break down these substances through natural metabolic processes. Bioremediation is not effective for complex mixtures of toxic chemicals or concentrated chemical wastes, and toxic metals cannot be broken down in this way.
