“…Pollution is a growing concern that poses significant threats to the environment, ecosystems, and human health (Ifijen et al, 2020;Ikhuoria et al, 2020). It refers to the introduction of harmful substances or contaminants into the natural environment, resulting in adverse effects on living organisms and the overall balance of ecosystems (Ifijen et al, 2022;Ize-Iyamua et al, 2019). Rubber waste effluents, which are generated from the production and processing of rubber products, can have significant negative impacts on the environment if not properly treated (Al-Musawi et al, 2019).…”

This review discusses the progress made in the remediation of rubber waste effluent using microbial techniques. Rubber processing facilities generate wastewater containing various pollutants, such as organic compounds, that are harmful to the environment. Microbial techniques, such as bioremediation, have been developed as a sustainable solution to treat these effluents. This article highlights the recent advancements made in this field, including the use of trickling filter systems and microbial fuel cells. These methods have been found to be effective in removing various pollutants, including phenols and formaldehyde. Furthermore, research has shown that these techniques are environmentally friendly, low-cost, and sustainable options for the treatment of rubber waste effluent. The article concludes that microbial techniques are a promising alternative to conventional treatment methods and should be further developed and explored for the treatment of rubber waste effluent.
