I, rcborden2, am a paid editor and am planning on preparing a major revisions of this page. The current page has a number of significant problems, including the following:
My proposed outline for the article is as follows:
In the outline above, I have not yet included references. Once I get feedback on the proposed approach, I will fill in additional detail and provide extensive referencing. I will avoid self-referencing. The primary references will be US Government documents (USEPA, SERDP, ESTCP) which public domain and may be copied and distributed freely. All tables and figures will be from public domain sources.
Thanks Rcborden2 ( talk) 19:07, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Bioremediation. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Few months ago Mycoremediation became a section of Bioremediation, since the content was little and lacked of references. I rewrote the article and added all the needed references so I place it back in its own page and deleted the section here. I added link to mycoremediation in See also and at the beginning, together with phytoremediation and the others. Basically, I'm using the same pattern as with phytoremediation.
Hope that is ok with everyone. -- Beleriandcrises ( talk) 11:52, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I am thinking of including a section on the disadvantages of bioremediation. The 3 sources that I will be using are:
Bioremediation. An overview* by M. Vidali https://www.iupac.org/publications/pac/pdf/2001/pdf/7307x1163.pdf
A comprehensive overview of elements in bioremediation by Juwarkar, Asha A; Singh, Sanjeev K; Mudhoo, Ackmez https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11157-010-9215-6

this is field that has moved a lot. way too many refs from 1980s and 1990s. We should be using recent, authoritative reviews and government publications here. Jytdog ( talk) 21:39, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
In this page, there is content that needs to be cited. For example under the aerobic section of the page the sentence "Oxygen is generally the preferred electron acceptor because of the higher energy yield and because oxygen is required for some enzyme systems to initiate the degradation process." must be cited. The information is specific and not common knowledge, therefore, it should be backed by a reliable source. Dbanyaib ( talk) 22:09, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
Another problem I have found with this Wikipedia page is overrepresentation. Of the few sources cited, half of them are from the same government agency, the EPA. Having this many citations from one source can create a bias in the paper because this organizations viewpoint outways the other sources cited on the page. Dbanyaib ( talk) 22:09, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
Another example of a sentence that should be cited in the article is "However, the amount of oxygen that can be provided by this method is limited by the low solubility of oxygen in water (8 to 10 mg/L for water in equilibrium with air at typical temperatures)." Any specific numbers or data like the ones used in this sentence require a reliable source showing that it is indeed true. Dbanyaib ( talk) 22:24, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
User:Vaselineeeeeeee, not sure what is going on. this and the restoration here were unsourced. The source added here talks about a place in Idaho and the various kinds of pollutants, but doesn't mention bioremediation nor the whey etc they are pumping in. The file at the commons gives a bit of quotation from the image source, so i found that (it is here) - they say they are using bioremediation to remove TCE, not radioactive stuff. Jytdog ( talk) 14:43, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
The
source provided for this image at the commons is somebody's the Department of Energy's Flickr account. The caption at the commons takes the quote at the Flicr page, and I tracked that down the source of the words which is the ref provided in the caption now) but that source doesn't discuss radiation. The picture clearly has something that looks like the radiation symbol on it. There is no sign of any bioremediation going on in the picture. So this is a mess.

The information presented on this page is often vague and does not take the appropriate time to explain the complicated topics covered so that the general public would be able to understand what exactly is being expressed. Any word or phrase used on this page that is not common knowledge should be explained in a sentence or two following or preceding their use in writing. Dbanyaib ( talk) 22:10, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
An example of this lack of specific explanation is "Under ideal conditions, the biodegradation rates of the low- to moderate-weight aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic compounds can be very high." The article mentions biodegradation which has yet to be explained in the article and there is not a link to another article explaining it. Dbanyaib ( talk) 22:31, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
There current sections on heavy metals (chromium, cadmium, lead,) have lots of background information on these metals that is not directly linked to bioremediation. I proposed to combine these sections into a single section on metals. The section will discuss several different metals remediation approaches including biosorption (focus of current articles), redox changes to immobilize, and sulfide precipitation. Rcborden2 ( talk) 13:44, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
I have recently restructured/updated the flow of the article and added sources. I have also moved the section about oxidation-reduction reactions to the “bioventing” section. I have taken away the separate “aerobic” and “anaerobic” sections as there was little information about anaerobic bioremediation. The previous anaerobic section was moved to the “biostimulation” section. I have used in-situ and ex-situ to separate each bioremediation process. With these edits there is still a lot of opportunity to expand on anaerobic bioremediation. Please let me know if there are any suggestions or changes that should be made. StolteKate ( talk)
While many of us wish and hope that bioremediation was widely employed and highly effective, I worry that it is neither. So I really toned down this article so that innocent readers are not led to believe that these techniques are being used on a large scale. These green topics attract a lot of hopeful editors who want promise to be reality, but readers are here to collect sober knowledge on the current situation. Stated more bluntly, bioremediation is largely inadvertent, and human induced processes such as biostimulation are rare. I could find no large scale apps, e.g. oil spills, chemical disasters, etc that were solved by bioremediation. Hopefully, I am wrong.-- Smokefoot ( talk) 16:45, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
