The symposium discussed bioremediation myths and their benefits. During two days of presentations and workshops, we addressed common misconceptions and identified opportunities to apply bioremediation techniques to contaminated sites. Participants walked away from this experience with an increased understanding of bioremediation science and became aware of common myths and misconceptions that hinder its adoption. Presentations from landowners, regulators, and practitioners addressed these perceived impediments and demonstrated the value and benefits of implementing bioremediation across various applications.
