Due to their persistence and toxicity, heavy metal pollution, particularly lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) pollution, presents severe environmental threats. Microbial remediation had been known as an effective strategy to remove and detoxify heavy metals from soil, water, sediments etc. This study aims to quantify the bioremediating capabilities of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The bacterium was cultivated and subjected to 100 ppm and 50 ppm respectively and the effective of bioremediation was calculated using UV-Spectrophotometer which measures the decline in metal ion concentration over time.
