Abstract

Water is essential for the sustainability of life, and only 2.5% of the total volume is fresh and available in underground and surface reserves, being responsible for providing water for human supply, development of economic activities and maintenance of biodiversity. Population growth, urbanization and the expansion of agricultural and industrial economic activities require the increasing use of different chemical products, which reach water resources in different ways. These chemicals, called xenobiotics, are easily found in water, compromising its quality and safe supply. In addition, it has become a global concern as it poses serious risks to human health and the maintenance of biodiversity. The objective of the research is to verify if bioremediation is used for the treatment of wastewater and supply, aiming to provide subsidies to define the best treatment system to be used according to the characteristics of the water to be treated. This is a qualitative, descriptive, integrative literature review type. The selected articles point to bioremediation as a sustainable and economical alternative to remove xenobiotics from water, using different organisms (microalgae, fungi and cyanobacteria). In addition, phytoremediation has also proved to be an excellent option for certain xenobiotics.
