Optimizing bioremediation techniques for soil decontamination in a linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy framework

This research develops mathematical tools to help experts choose the best method for cleaning contaminated soil using living organisms. The study presents new fuzzy logic operators that can handle both numerical and linguistic information, making decisions more understandable to humans. When applied to a contaminated industrial site, the method identified bioaugmentation (adding beneficial microorganisms) as the most effective cleanup approach among four options tested.

Mycoremediation of Petroleum-Contaminated Soil Using Native Ganoderma and Trametes Strains from the Ecuadorian Amazon

Oil spills in the Amazon rainforest cause serious environmental and health problems. Scientists discovered that certain mushroom fungi found in Ecuador can break down petroleum pollutants in soil more effectively than natural processes. In lab tests, five native fungal strains removed over 96% of petroleum hydrocarbons from contaminated soil in just 60 days, offering a promising natural solution for cleaning up oil-polluted areas.
