Contaminated
environment solution

Contamination of the environment resulting from human activity affects climate change, food security and our well-being. 
The EU-funded Nymphe project (New system-driven bioremediation of polluted habitats and environment) explores innovative nature-based bioremediation solutions to revitalize land and waters affected by deep environmental contamination.

What is bioremediation? 

listek2.png

Bioremediation is a biotechnological method that exploits the natural abilities of micro- and macroorganisms, enzymes and plants to boosts their natural powers to adsorb, accumulate and degrade pollutants and toxins from soil, water, and other environments.

Nymphe bioremediation strategies

Our nature-based bioremediation strategies are tailored to remove common pollutants like pharmaceuticals, pesticides, microplastics, chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbon, and heavy metals from different types of environments - soil, sediments, groundwater, wastewater and surface water. 


To achieve that we will use multiple biologics - enzymes, proteins, bacteria and fungi, microalgae, plants and their associated microorganisms, bivalves and earthworms - suited for high-performance degradation of pollutants. 
We will test our bioremediation procedures in four contaminated sites in Italy, Spain, Germany, and Greece. 

With these strategies, we aspire to remove at least 90% of the pollutants in the examined sites and achieve environmental quality standards closer to Natura 2000 specifications to increase their level of biodiversity.
