Bioremediation: The Hope and the Hype for Environmental Cleanup

from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab · host UCTV: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Terry Hazen discusses when it’s best to resort to engineered bioremediation of contaminated sites, and when it’s best to rely on natural attenuation. Recent advances have greatly broadened the potential applications for bioremediation. At the same time, scientists’ knowledge of biogeochemical processes has advanced and they can better gauge how quickly and completely contaminants can be degraded without human intervention.
