Industrial development together with the advances in technology have been used solely to overcome nature and to utilize its resources for a long while. Even after pollution and/or its consequences started to threaten lives and biodiversity went on a decline, there was no sufficient control over the industrial and municipal operations. However, a major change in the global perspective of industrial/technological progress has become a necessity–environment can not be sacrificed for development. Although it has not been achieved either by governments or industry itself, many countries try to prevent pollution at the source with the enforcement of regulations or to recuperate the environmental pollution in the light of current scientific research. The bioremediation methodology, which is among the biotechnological improvement methods, is efficient, economical, versatile, and recognized as an environmentally friendly solution. Bioremediation – recovery of pollution created by biodegradable pollutants with the aid of environmentally safe materials and methods–is one of the current subjects of research and application due to its advantages over available 342physicochemical techniques. Biodegradation of pollutants is executed on-site, whenever possible, but when toxic concentrations of pollutants are a concern for indigenous organisms or there is a high risk of spreading for pollution, then special facilities designed for that purpose are necessary. Increasing the bioavailability of contaminants and decreasing the treatment times especially at in-situ applications have been two major concerns of bioremediation. The latest advancement in bioremediation includes the utilization of specially designed nano-sized materials, which may also help overcome those issues. Various nanomaterials (NMs) have been proposed as promising agents to enhance the biological removal of agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, hydrocarbons (HCs), radionuclides, and other heavy metals from the environment. Nevertheless, investigation of those NMs in terms of their cytotoxicity and understanding their fate under varying environmental conditions after bioremediation are essential.
