Degradation of Hazardous Organic Wastes by Microorganisms

Abstract

This report addresses the microbiological detoxification of hazardous organic compounds before and after they have contaminated soil, groundwater, and other areas. The in situ degradation of toxic organic compounds is often the most cost-effective cleanup approach. Companies which use or provide microorganisms and other products and services for hazardous organic waste detoxification are listed in the appendices of this report. Keywords: Hazardous materials; Water pollution; Pollution control and Abatement; Biodegradation; Detoxification; Degradation; Hazardous wastes; Organic wastes; Microorganisms; Bacteria.
