These techniques are demonstrated to be functionally effective in connection with physical, chemical, and biological strategies. Soil and water contamination through heavy metals, hydrocarbons and radioactive wastes is of global concern, as these factors have cumulative effects on the environment and human health through food-chain contamination. The book discusses the utilization of algae, plants, plant-associated bacteria, fungi (endophytic or rhizospheric) and certain lower animals for the sustainable bioremediation of organic and inorganic pollutants. In addition, it explores a number of more recent techniques like biochar and biofilms for carbon sequestration, soil conditioning and remediation, and water remediation. It highlights a number of recent advances in nanobioremediation, an emerging technology based on biosynthetic nanoparticles. Lastly, it presents illustrative case studies and highlights the successful treatment of polluted soils by means of these strategies. . 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B24000 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 606 $aApplied Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12010 606 $aNanotechnology and Microengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T18000 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 14$aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aSoil Science & Conservation. 615 24$aApplied Microbiology. 615 24$aNanotechnology and Microengineering. 676 $a628.55 700 $aKoul$b Bhupendra$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0892738 702 $aTaak$b Pooja$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298419303321 996 $aBiotechnological Strategies for Effective Remediation of Polluted Soils$92517504 997 $aUNINA
