Emphasis is on the potential use of biotechnology in upstream decisions about materials management, in addition to the status and directions of current applications. Covers the latest science as well as risk and policy issues, with sections on advances in sustainable biotechnology, recent results in environmental biotechnology and remediation, environmental biotechnology at home and abroad, environmental monitoring and risk analysis and applications to bioremediation, and advances in wastewater treatment technology.
