Abatement of Environmental Pollutants: Trends and Strategies, 1st Edition, examines the application of microorganisms in bioremediation technologies to address industrial pollution challenges. It covers biological treatment mechanisms for industrial wastewater along with global management approaches.
The volume highlights microbial degradation pathways for diverse contaminants, including petrochemical pollutants such as benzene and phenolic compounds. It also discusses plant-associated methods such as phytoremediation alongside the use of genetically engineered microbes.
Written for scientists and researchers in environmental science and pollution, the work presents biological strategies for managing industrial effluents and contaminated sites.
