- Heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants harm the environment, primarily through industrial waste and emissions from incineration and combustion.
- The review discusses various remediation strategies and bioremediation technologies, focusing on their effectiveness in both in situ (on-site) and ex situ (off-site) methods.
- Combining bioremediation techniques with nanotechnology might offer a promising solution for effectively degrading heavy metals and organic pollutants.
Volatile oil from fresh rhizomes of Zingiber anamalayanum was isolated by hydrodistillation and characterised by GC-FID and GC-MS. Twenty-one out of 24 constituents comprising 99.47% of the oil were identified.
