Metals and Radioactive Substance Bioremediation

Environmental pollution is a global issue caused by harmful substances from human activities. Everyday consumption and waste disposal, along with industrial operations such as mining, energy production, farming, manufacturing, and healthcare, contribute to pollution. The nuclear industry adds radioactive waste from energy, medicine, and weapons production.

Cleaning up pollution is vital to protect human health, wildlife, and the environment. This framework explores how biology can remediate metal and radioactive pollution in soil and water (bioremediation), supporting Sustainable Development Goals for healthy environments and pollution elimination.
