Abstract

The intense anthropic activity has generated the accumulation of organic and inorganic pollutants in the environment. This is a problem that challenges the scientific community to search for technologies capable of mitigating this alarming scenario. The application of microalgae as a pollutant reduction method has gained scientific attention in the status quo. This is due to its ability to remove and/or biotransform toxic substances from the surroundings. This ability has also been investigated for the opportunity to generate value and revenue. This chapter focuses on existing literature for biological mitigation via microalgae and the potential to generate carbon credits based on the results of the reduction of organic and inorganic pollutants.
