The compost produced based on municipal/urban organic solid waste (RSOM/U), is a valuable resource as a biofertilizer for agriculture, gardening, forestry and especially for soil remediation, whose production contributes to sustainable development through recycling of organic matter and nutrients. However, due to the raw materials used, the compost can have a significant content of heavy metals such as: cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se), and contaminants such as potentially toxic trace elements that harm human health. These components can accumulate in plant tissues by absorption, giving rise to the possibility of being bioavailable to humans and animals. The fungal bioremediation of heavy metals in RSOM/U compost is highly efficient, cost-effective, available and friendly to the environment, therefore the removal of metals through this technique is a ...
