This book highlights the characteristics, aims, and applications of microorganisms as a crucial solution for sustainable management of the toxic pollutants in aquatic ecosystems, soil, and air. It facilitates biotechnology towards the development of more sustainable biological systems by minimizing the level of harmful toxic substances and reducing the toxic effects in current chemical processes. It serves as a useful guide for a diverse community of practicing professionals, researchers, students (undergraduate and postgraduate), innovators involved in biotechnology research, and policymakers engaged in the development of strategies to deal with challenges of current environmental issues and working in the bioremediation field.

Features:

- Highlights the characteristics and applications of microorganisms as a crucial solution for sustainable management of pollutants in soil, water, and air

- Examines how biotechnology can be used to remediate emerging toxic pollutants/contaminants from industrial wastewater and for nano-filtration applications

- Discusses how bionanomaterials-based sensors can be practically used for monitoring air and water pollution, as well as resource recovery from wastewater
