Degradable Polymers and Plastics of the Future: Steps towards Environmental Sustainability, Regulations and Safety Aspects.This textbook on Environmental Biotechnology not only presents an unbiased overview of the practical biological approaches currently employed to address environmental problems, but also equips readers with a working knowledge of the science that underpins them. Starting with the fundamentals of biotechnology, it subsequently provides detailed discussions of global environmental problems including microbes and their interaction with the environment, xenobiotics and their remediation, solid waste management, waste water treatment, bioreactors, biosensors, biomining and biopesticides. This book also covers renewable and non-renewable bioenergy resources, biodiversity and its conservation, and approaches to monitoring biotechnological industries, genetically modified microorganism and foods so as to increase awareness. All chapters are written in a highly accessible style, and each also includes a short bibliography for further research. In summary this textbook offers a valuable asset, allowing students, young researchers and professionals in the biotechnology industry to grasp the basics of environmental biotechnology.Applied Environmental Science and Engineering for a Sustainable Future,2570-2165Environmental managementEnvironmental healthPollution preventionWaterPollutionSustainable developmentEnvironmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Environmental Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U18005Industrial Pollution Preventionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35020Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Environmental management.Environmental health.Pollution prevention.WaterPollution.Sustainable development.Environmental Management.Environmental Health.Industrial Pollution Prevention.Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.Sustainable Development.306.46Singh Ram Lakhanedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254022203321Principles and Applications of Environmental Biotechnology for a Sustainable Future2505443UNINA
