Science has grown immensely over the past few years, Environmental Biotechnology being one such place of growth. Canadians have made many advancements in this field, including the development of a bacteria capable of cleaning up oil spills, and the development of environmentally friendly biofuels.
Some more specific examples of Environmental Biotechnology used in Canada are as follows: -Aquaculture Treatment: the treatment of water using microorganisms to eliminate unwanted byproducts. -Biofiltration: the process of passing air through microorganisms that biodegrade odour-causing compounds and other unwanted chemicals. -Bioremediation: the process of cleansing an area of radioactive and harmful material using plants and microbes.jko |
