<p></p><p>Rapid industrialization is a serious concern&nbsp;in the context of a&nbsp;healthy environment. With the growth in the number of industries, the waste&nbsp;generated is&nbsp;also growing exponentially.&nbsp;The various chemical&nbsp;processes operating in the manufacturing industry generate a large number of by-products,&nbsp;which are&nbsp;largely harmful and toxic pollutants and are&nbsp;generally discharged into&nbsp;the natural water bodies. Once the pollutants enter the environment, they are taken up by different life forms, and because of bio-magnification,&nbsp;they affect&nbsp;the&nbsp;entire&nbsp;food chain and have severe adverse effects on all life forms,&nbsp;including&nbsp;on human health.&nbsp;Although, various physico-chemical and biological approaches are available for the removal of toxic pollutants, unfortunately&nbsp;these are often ineffective and traditional clean up practices are inefficient. Biological approaches utilizing microorganisms (bacterial/fungi/algae), green plants or their enzymes to degrade or detoxify environmental pollutants such as endocrine disruptors,&nbsp;toxic metals, pesticides, dyes, petroleum hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds,&nbsp;offer eco- friendly approaches. Such eco-friendly approaches are often more effective than traditional practices, and are safe for both industry&nbsp;workers as well as environment.</p>

<p>This book provides a comprehensive overview of various toxic environmental pollutants from avariety natural and anthropogenic sources, their toxicological effects&nbsp;on the environment, humans, animals and plants as well as their biodegradation and bioremediation using&nbsp;emerging and eco-friendly approaches (e.g. Anammox technology, advanced&nbsp;oxidation processes,&nbsp;membrane bioreactors,&nbsp;membrane processes, GMOs), microbial degradation (e.g. bacteria, fungi, algae), phytoremediation, biotechnology and nanobiotechnology. Offering&nbsp;fundamental and advanced information on environmental problems, challenges and bioremediation approaches used for the remediation of contaminated sites, it is a valuable resource for students, scientists and researchers engaged in microbiology, biotechnology and environmental sciences. </p><br><p></p>
