Heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants are causing detrimental effects on the environment. The seepage of heavy metals through untreated industrial waste destroys the crops and lands. Moreover, incineration and combustion of several products are responsible for primary and secondary emissions of pollutants. This review has gathered the remediation strategies, current bioremediation technologies, and their primary use in both in situ and ex situ methods, followed by a detailed explanation for bioremediation over other techniques. However, an amalgam of bioremediation techniques and nanotechnology could be a breakthrough in cleaning the environment by degrading heavy metals and persistant organic pollutants.
重金属和持久性有机污染物正在对环境造成有害影响。未经处理的工业废物中的重金属渗透会破坏农作物和土地。此外，焚烧和燃烧多种产品是造成一次和二次污染物排放的原因。本综述收集了修复策略、当前的生物修复技术及其在原位和异位方法中的主要应用，并详细解释了生物修复相对于其他技术的优势。然而，生物修复技术和纳米技术的结合可能是通过降解重金属和持久性有机污染物来清洁环境的一个突破。
