The presence of various types of contaminants such as heavy metals, emerging organic contaminants, pesticides, organic waste, organic dyes, radionuclide’s, fluorides, etc. cause water pollution. These pollutants are of concern to engineers, environmentalists and scientists. Due to the lack of freshwater, it is very important to recycle the wastewater after treatment to remove organic contaminates and heavy metal pollutants.

Estuary sediments contain toxic heavy metals which can pollute coastal wetlands. Ba Che river estuary is a coastal wetland with an area of 2,844 ha, which is affected by wastes in Ba Che river water and aquacultures. In this study, the accumulation of heavy metals in the Ba Che river estuary was assessed based on the enrichment factor (EF), the geo-accumulation index (Igeo), and the ecological risk index (RI).

Ebook "Bioremediation in Latin America: Current research and perspectives" compiles an update information about the state of bioremediation in emerging Latin American countries. Some of the studied regions are sites that suffered decades of pollution by agrochemicals, heavy metals and industrial waste due to the lack of control by government regulations. Such is the case of Northern Argentina, where were illegally deposited over 30 tn of obsolete organochlorine pesticides in 1994.
