Investigate the use of bioremediation and biorestoration in environmental management.
Investigation should include current technologies as they apply to
- spills
- chemical
- biological
- agricultural
- industrial
- waste management
- landfills
- wastewater
- air pollutants
- animal waste/biohazardous waste
- industrial waste
- heavy metal contaminations
- nitrogen runoff
- carbon sequestration.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How can microbes help restore an environment that has been polluted?
- How are microbes used in the bioremediation process?
- How is phosphorous removal and recovery accomplished in wastewater treatment plants?
- What are waxworms, and how are they used?
