Bioremediation is the process of using organisms to neutralize or remove contaminants from waste. It is very important to understand that this form of waste remediation uses no toxic chemicals, although it may use an organism that can be detrimental under certain circumstances. A gory, but simple description of bioremediation is the use of maggots in wound care. Wounds that have contamination can have maggots introduced to them. The maggots then eat the contamination allowing the wound to heal correctly – a form of medical bioremediation. There are many other types that are used to control different waste contamination, which are now described.
