Synopsis

This revised edition, 'Microbiological Aspects of Pollution Control', explores the latest developments in employing microorganisms to eliminate pollutants and recycle vital resources. It covers practical aspects like sewage treatment, theoretical aspects such as the genetics of pesticide biodegradation, and methods to enhance microorganisms' biochemical capabilities. Comprising 11 chapters, it starts with an overview of how microorganisms produce chemical pollutants like mycotoxins and phytotoxins. It then delves into microorganisms' role in air pollution, the impact of air pollutants on them, and health risks from water-borne pathogens. The book also assesses surface water, sewage, and industrial effluent quality, explains microbiological pharmaceutical product examination, and discusses sewage treatment methods, eutrophication, thermal pollution, sulfur cycle waste recovery, oil pollution, and biodegradation processes. Engineers will find this book invaluable for studying microbiological pollution aspects and potential solutions.
