This video explores possible remediation options for the removal of neonicotinoid pesticides from soil and groundwater. Neonicotinoids are widely used and have recently been linked to Honey Bee Colony Collapse Disorder as well as the loss of aquatic life. Two processes are presented; the first consists of using microorganisms to degrade the contaminant in the soil. This process includes biostimulation and bioaugmentation. Biostimulation increases indigenous microbial activity through oxygen and nutrient delivery while bioaugmentation introduces additional microorganisms to increase the rate of removal. The process of delivering oxygen and nutrients or microorganisms into the soil is called bio-venting. The second process consists of pairing ozonation with UV radiation to create hydroxyl radicals, which oxidize the organic neonicotinoid molecules to enhance pesticide degradation.
