“…The existence of any compound in high concentrations can also be considered xenobiotic, for instance, the presence of pharmaceutical drugs in the human body which are not produced by the body itself or are a normal part of the diet. Moreover, these synthetic chemicals have very complex chemical structures and are very resistant to photolytic processes and biodegradation by indigenous microorganisms [ 1 , 2 ].…”

“…Through biomagnification, they can also lead to serious toxic effects at higher trophic levels. Moreover, xenobiotics can cause severe health problems and long-term effects such as cardiovascular defects, kidney and liver damage, lung irritation, neurodegeneration, autoimmune disorders, adverse reproductive problems and eventually cancer as a result of the prolonged consumption of such pollutants in food or drinks [ 2 , 8 , 10 ]. In animals, xenobiotics affect their reproduction and immune functions [ 9 ].…”

Industrial development has enhanced the release into the environment of large quantities of chemical compounds with high toxicity and limited prospects of degradation. The pollution of soil and water with xenobiotic chemicals has become a major ecological issue; therefore, innovative treatment technologies need to be explored. Fungal bioremediation is a promising technology exploiting their metabolic potential to remove or lower the concentrations of xenobiotics. In particular, white rot fungi (WRF) are unique microorganisms that show high capacities to degrade a wide range of toxic xenobiotic compounds such as synthetic dyes, chlorophenols, polychlorinated biphenyls, organophosphate pesticides, explosives and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In this review, we address the main classes of enzymes involved in the fungal degradation of organic pollutants, the main mechanisms used by fungi to degrade these chemicals and the suitability of fungal biomass or extracellular enzymes for bioremediation. We also exemplify the role of several fungi in degrading pollutants such as synthetic dyes, PAHs and emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and perfluoroalkyl/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Finally, we discuss the existing current limitations of using WRF for the bioremediation of polluted environments and future strategies to improve biodegradation processes.

“…The former (e.g., Solid-phase treatment, Slurry-phase bioremediation) implies the transport of polluted matrices from the site of origin to the treatment area with the risk of spreading contaminants into the environment. The second (e.g., bioventing, bioslurping, biosparging, phytoremedetion) provides an in situ treatment of polluted matrices, reducing the risk of spreading pollutants and the costs of transport [13].…”

“…Bioslurping is a technique suitable for the reclamation of soils with high permeability and less suitable for those with low ones. Biosparging is applied for the treatment of water polluted by diesel and kerosene, but its efficiency depends greatly on the biodegradability of contaminants and the degree of soil permeability [13]. Phytoremediation is an economical, ecological, and not invasive technique that takes advantage of the action of different plant species that can purify the air from pollutants.…”

An Integrated Approach to Assess Smart Passive Bioventing as a Sustainable Strategy for the Remediation of a Polluted Site by Persistent Organic Pollutants

Recently modern methodologies allowed the improvement of conventional bioventing strategies in an engineering technology known as smart passive bioventing (S-PBv). The latter is an increasingly used application to reduce the concentrations of organic contaminants below the relative value of contamination threshold concentration (CSC). The S-PBv exploits the natural fluctuations of atmospheric pressure, which allow air to enter into the subsoil, to facilitate natural remediation processes. In this way, the efforts in terms of economics resources in the remediation process are minimised, the risk of pollutants volatilization is drastically reduced, and the degradation favoured by microorganisms is promoted. Our study aims to provide the essential information to plan a series of in situ tests (pilot test) to verify the applicability of this remediation technology, through the use of intelligent sensors designed and engineered using open-source hardware and software.
