Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
One of the limitations of bioremediation, as compared to the use of chemical techniques, is:
A
emissions
B
space
C
time
D
oil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The bioremediation process may take anywhere from several months to several years to complete, depending on variables such as the size of the contaminated area, the concentration of contaminants, temperature, soil density, and whether bioremediation will occur in situ or ex situ.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bioremediation process is also greatly affected by the characteristics of the contaminated site. Parameters such as soil texture, permeability, pH, water holding capacity, soil temperature, nutrient, and oxygen content affect bioremediation process.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bioremediation is limited to those compounds that are biodegradable. Not all compounds are susceptible to rapid and complete degradation. There are some concerns that the products of biodegradation may be more persistent or toxic than the parent compound. Biological processes are often highly specific.
