Title: Vermi-Remediation of Metal(loid)s Contaminated Surfaces
Abstract: Remediation of metal and metal(oid) contaminated surfaces are very critical for the environment. Extensive use of chemicals, mining, and industrial operations including developmental activities deplete soil quality over time. Several workers developed a number of remedial techniques. However, bio-based remediation was regarded as the safest option so far. Among all available bio-remediation techniques, vermi-remediation was found to be the best suitable, not only in terms of time and cost-effectiveness, but also long-term impact on the soil ecosystem. Here, in this review, we have summarized works done over the years on vermi-remediation. We tried to find out the knowledge gap in the existing works in order to establish a full-proof system in the near future.
