Bioremediation Bioremediation refers to the process of using microorganisms to remove the environmental pollutants i.e. the toxic wastes found in soil, water, air etc.   Microbes serve as scavengers in bioremediation for environmental clean-up of wastes. Bioremediation basically involves the conversion of complex organic molecules to simpler (and mostly non-toxic) ones. Other names used for bioremediation are biodegradation, bio-treatment, bio-reclamation and bio-restoration. Xenobiotic Most of the reactions of bioremediation involve Xenobiotic. Xenos means foreign. Xenobiotic broadly refer to the unnatural, foreign and synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, refrigerants, solvents and other organic compounds.    Microbial degradation of xenobiotic assumes significance, since it provides an effective and economic means of disposing of toxic chemicals, particularly the environmental pollutants.

  Many people have been asking and wondering why are they always asked to use this and not use that,dump this and don't dump that,do this and don't do that,why do we have to safe the earth anyways,we are all going to die one way or the other,so why bother. Calm down and read very carefully,all you questions are going to be answered. First of all we need to save the earth because it is our home,we have no other place to go,just like we wake up everyday and clean our houses,dust the bed,repair the roof to live comfortably close the doors before going to bed in other to sleep peacefully. The earth also need to be protected from all foreign substances that could trigger Climate change,flood, draught,wild fire e.t.c for both plant and animals to live comfortably and have a healthy life. Secondly the earth need to be protected not only for us to enjoy,giving that we are all going to die eventually,the earth needs to be protected for future generations to come. The future generations ...

According to the world health organization (WHO) Floods are the most frequent type of natural disaster and occur when an overflow of water submerges land that is usually dry. Floods are often caused by heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt or a storm surge from a tropical cyclone or tsunami in coastal areas. Floods can cause widespread devastation, resulting in loss of life and damages to personal property and critical public health infrastructure. Between 1998-2017, floods affected more than 2 billion people worldwide. People who live in floodplains or non-resistant buildings, or lack warning systems and awareness of flooding hazard, are most vulnerable to floods. Between 80-90% of all documented disasters from natural hazards during the past 10 years have resulted from floods, droughts, tropical cyclones, heat waves and severe storms. Floods are also increasing in frequency and intensity, and the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation is expected to continue to increas...

  INTRODUCTION  Over the years the environment has been changing from its natural setting, slowly to semi-natural and rapidly to what cannot be mentioned in the context of naturality due to human activities. According to NASA, The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 2.12 degrees Fahrenheit (1.18 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, Data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost an average of 279 billion tons of ice per year between 1993 and 2019, while Antarctica lost about 148 billion tons of ice per year. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30%. What is the cause of all these rapid changes? Environmental change is a change or disturbance of the environment most often caused by human influences and natural ecological processes. Environmental changes include various factors, such as natural disasters, human interferences, or animal interaction. Envir...

 Have you ever wondered what is special about these ozone layer you are seeing here and there on each post concerning climate change and other related environmental issues,well you have come to the right place to get the right information. Ozone Layer: Ozone Layer chemically represented as  O3,is a layer found in  the atmosphere,it occupied 70% of the stratosphere. The Ozone Layer is a protective blanket that protects the earth from ultraviolet rays,it protects the earth by absorbing the harmful rays coming into the earth surface,and letting only the usable one that can be absorbed by plants and animals without adversely affecting them reach the earth surface. The three molecules of oxygen that binds together to form the ozone layer (O3) are what makes the ozone layer special and thus,referred to as a protective blanket. Whenever the bond between the oxygen molecules breaks,the earth is no longer safe,the ozone layer start to deplet,and a hole is formed,when this happens ...
