Oil Pollution is a serious Environmental Problem and has become unacceptable to the whole world as awareness of its effects on the Environment has increased. Unfortunately, it is not possible to substitute all the industrial processes causing pollution with clean alternative. Therefore, treatment both at the source and after release must be considered as an alternative in many cases. Bioremediation has been considered as a possible alternative to conventional treatment since it has been well established that hydrocarbon are prone to be biodegraded. This book evaluate Oil contamination and its effect and assessment of Bioremediation as the most effective Remediation Techniques.
