| description | Interest in the biotreatment of petroleum contamination has existed since last years, in the Arabian Gulf Region of Saudi Arabia, less attention has been paid to the microbial bioremediation of petroleum contamination. In Saudi Arabia, petroleum widespread environmental and continuously pollutants that are amenable to removal by biotreatment.
The present review might give a data base in microbial biotreatment of petroleum contamination for some future studies in Saudi Arabia as well as in the Arabian Gulf region. Most of the Eastern Regions of Saudi Arabia, including the coastal area bordering Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar became polluted with petroleum during the Gulf War (1990), results from a 1991 rapid assessment survey to investigate the extent of resulting from the massive spillage of petroleum and the burning of oil well pollution in the Arabian Gulf was restricted to approximately 400 km from the sources, oil contamination as a floating tar balls were investigated from the Arabian Gulf to the Arabian Sea, ecology of sea grasses in North eastern Saudi Arabia after Gulf War was examined for the direct result of the Gulf War oil spill, mean concentrations of total hydrocarbons were 2.95,4.14 and 3.29 ugl-1 in Saudi Arabia and Qatar respectively , petroleum contamination following the 1991 Gulf War was organized to determine contamination by petroleum that entered the Gulf and oil field in Kuwait.
While environmental biotechnology benefits is broadly based in variety of environmental protection, restoration ,and agriculture industrial practices, for a decade it has been most commonly liked with bioremediation , rehabilitation and waste treatment technology. |
