Air pollutants can affect metabolic activity, impede healthy development, and exhibit carcinogenic and toxic properties in humans. Over the past two decades, the use of microbes to remove pollutants from contaminated air streams has become a widely accepted and efficient alternative to the classical physical and chemical treatment technologies. Air Pollution Prevention and Control: Bioreactors and Bioenergy focusses on these biotechnological alternatives looking at both the optimization of bioreactors and the development o 606 $aAir$xPollution 606 $aAir$xPurification 606 $aBioreactors 606 $aBiomass energy 615 0$aAir$xPollution. 615 0$aAir$xPurification. 615 0$aBioreactors. 615 0$aBiomass energy. 676 $a628.5/36 700 $aKennes$b Christian$0936695 701 $aKennes$b Christian$0936695 701 $aVeiga$b Mari?a C$0936696 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139239403321 996 $aAir pollution prevention and control$92109810 997 $aUNINA
