Abstract

In recent years, several reports of excessive levels of arsenic (As) in water environments have been testified from various regions of the world, primarily due to anthropogenic activities. Understanding bioremediation techniques to reduce or mitigate the toxicity of arsenic in polluted water is the overall goal of this work; this is achieved through reviewing latest literatures on As- remediation, and exploring some of the resent techniques of mitigating arsenic contamination. More than thirty (30) microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, and fungi, were discovered. Moreover, there are many technologies for removal and mitigating of arsenic from contaminated water including application of nanoparticles meanwhile some successful cases of remediation were reported in this study. It is recommended more research should be carried out to further understand the microorganisms responsible and techniques for reducing water contaminates.
