Environmental Contaminants: Ecological Implications and Management Hardback
Edited by Ram Naresh Bharagava
Part of the Microorganisms for Sustainability series
Hardback
Description
As we know, rapid industrialization is a serious concern in the context of a healthy environment.
Various physico-chemical and biological approaches for the removal of toxic pollutants are available, but unfortunately these are not very effective.
Biological approaches using microorganisms (bacterial/fungi/algae), green plants or their enzymes to degrade/detoxify environmental contaminants such as endocrine disrupting chemicals, toxic metals, pesticides, dyes, petroleum hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds are eco-friendly and low cost.
This book provides a much-needed, comprehensive overview of the various types of contaminants, their toxicological effects on the environment, humans, animals and plants as well as various eco-friendly approaches for their management (degradation/detoxification).
As such it is a valuable resource for a wide range of students, scientists and researchers in microbiology, biotechnology, environmental sciences.
