The research carried out shows good results on pollutant biodegradation and there is an increasingly knowledge about the characteristics of the WRF which make it possible, and can be summarized as follows ... 

Although most of the polymeric objects are combustible, incineration is not always a feasible method of disposal because of attendant air pollution => Biodegradable plastics .

Like each type of degradation, biodegradation also has several undesired effects. Uncontrolled microbial decomposition might occasionally cause pollution of the groundwater and of the surrounding air. In order to avoid pollution, biodegradable polymers and aerobic composting procedures have been developed. 

Microbes recently identified as organic pollutant biodegraders, but falling outside of the prokaryotic groupings typically isolated for...
