Ecotoxicology

Microbial Technologies' consulting experience in ecotoxicology centers on the assessment of ecological effects from pollutants in soil, water, and sediments.

We have reviewed environmental impacts associated with mining, petroleum extraction and refining, and the bioremediation of contaminated soils and sediments. We have assisted regulatory authorities in drafting environmental regulations, such as the development of site-specific clean-up criteria.

These efforts are possible due to our extensive experience investigating the fate and behavior of contaminants in the environment. Such knowledge is critical for contaminants like selenium, where the environmental fate and ecotoxicity are intimately bound.
