Chapter 12 – Biological remediation of mercury-polluted environments
Original language description
The soil pollution with mercury represents a serious and global environmental problem. The sources of mercury pollution can be due to natural and/or anthropogenic activities being human activities the most dangerous and problematic for the environment. The different forms in which mercury can be appeared into the environment are directly related to soil microorganism activities which are involved in the cycling of mercury and thus they contribute to speciation of mercury in soil. Soil microorganism can be used as bio-indicator of soil health and quality since mercury, especially as methyl-mercury may be readily adsorbed by plants, microorganism and/or fauna. Decontamination of sites polluted with heavy metals can be possible by bioremediation techniques. Bioremediation represent alternative and eco-friendly techniques which uses the abilities and capacities of microorganism to degrade and/or transform mercury into less toxic compounds through mobilization and immobilization processes.
