Bioremediation For Environmental SuStainability: Toxicity, Mechanisms Of Contaminants Degradation, Detoxification And Challenges

Explore the groundbreaking field of bioremediation in Bioremediation For Environmental Sustainability. This comprehensive paperback delves into the use of biological systems to address environmental pollution, offering insights into the toxicity, mechanisms of contaminant degradation, and detoxification processes involved.

Gain a deep understanding of how microorganisms, plants, and enzymes can be harnessed to remove or neutralize pollutants from soil, water, and air. The book examines various bioremediation strategies, covering both in-situ and ex-situ techniques, and explores their application to a wide range of contaminants, including petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides, heavy metals, and emerging pollutants.

Delve into the intricate biochemical pathways involved in contaminant degradation and the factors that influence the efficiency of bioremediation processes. The text provides a critical analysis of the challenges associated with bioremediation, such as bioavailability limitations, microbial community dynamics, and the formation of toxic intermediates. Furthermore, it explores innovative approaches to enhance bioremediation, including genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and the integration of bioremediation with other remediation technologies.

This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, environmental professionals, policymakers, and students seeking a comprehensive overview of bioremediation and its potential to promote environmental sustainability.
