Environnemental Pollution Biodegradation et Bioremediation
Description
Industrial revolution et technological advancement during last few centuries have made le world more comfortable et sophisticated place avec improved agricultural, technological, medical et industrial facilities. But, at le same time, all le advancements also increased le air, water et soil pollution. Le adverse effects de these pollutants have made health professionals worried. In last few decades, use de microbes, plants et fungi to convert toxic compounds such as pesticides, polymers, pharmaceuticals, aromatic compounds, explosives, metals etc. into less harmful forms through metabolic reduction has been subject de extensive research. This detoxification process is termed biodegradation. Several microbial strains capable de biodegradation have been identified from contaminated sites. This volume, Environnemental Pollution: Biodegradation et Bioremediation, will act as reference material pour biodegradation basics et application en controlling various pollutants. Le volume comprises topics ranged from basic biodegradation techniques, use de microbes et enzymes pour bioremediation to methods de bioleaching, heavy metal removal et aquatic ecosystem biomonitoring. Le book also summarizes microbes et enzymes involved en polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), phthalates, pesticides et explosives biodegradation. Soil pollution et ecology de plant growth promoting microorganisms (PGPM) have also been described along avec le microbiological techniques et procedures involved en water quality control et sedimentation. Chemical modification de vegetable oils et application de biolubricants have also been discussed along avec brief overview de current biolubricant market. This volume contains 14 chapters summarizing biodegradation techniques et their application en pollution control. Le book will be useful pour engineering or science background, researchers, academicians, civil/chemical/environmental engineers, environmentalists, agriculture scientists, urban planners et policymakers who are concerned about state de our planet et want to participate en le process de change to transform le world pour better.
