商品描述
This contributed volume comprises of detailed chapters covering the biotechnological approaches employed for the removal of toxic recalcitrant xenobiotics such as petroleum hydrocarbons, textile dyes, microplastics and synthetic polymers that pose serious threat to the environment. It also includes the waste to energy conversion strategies that provides a deep insight on the need for waste circular economy for different developing countries and its implication on sustainable development goals such as SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production) SDG 14 (Life below water); and SDG 15 (Life on land).
Emerging pollutants sourced from both industries and anthropogenic activity have created havoc in recent years for public health and destruction of biodiversity at multiple levels. The alarming increase in the global population and rapid industrialization might aggravate the problems associated with these hazardous pollutants in near future. Effluent from different industries may contain high amounts of xenobiotic hazardous contaminants such as dyes, hydrocarbons, synthetic surfactants, microplastics, etc. Industries and public sewers handling such waste streams are facing a plethora of challenges in the effluent treatment and solid waste disposal due to various factors that start from production to adoption of appropriate technologies. Therefore, there is an immediate circumvention of bottlenecks through sustainable mitigation strategies.
This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, capacity builders and policymakers. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, forestry, ecology, soil science, and environmental sciences. National and international agricultural scientists, policy makers also find this to be a useful read.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本專書包含了詳細的章節，介紹了生物技術方法用於去除對環境構成嚴重威脅的有毒難降解異物，例如石油烴類、紡織染料、微塑料和合成聚合物。它還包括了廢物轉能策略，深入探討了不同發展中國家需要實現廢物循環經濟以及其對可持續發展目標的影響，如SDG 12（負責任的消費和生產）、SDG 14（水下生物）和SDG 15（陸地生物）。
近年來，來自工業和人類活動的新興污染物對公共健康和生物多樣性的破壞造成了嚴重影響。全球人口的驚人增長和快速工業化可能會加劇與這些有害污染物相關的問題。不同行業的廢水可能含有大量的異物有害污染物，如染料、烴類、合成表面活性劑、微塑料等。處理這些廢水和固體廢物的工業和公共下水道面臨著眾多挑戰，這些挑戰從生產到採用適當技術的各個環節都存在。因此，需要立即通過可持續的緩解策略來解決這些瓶頸。
這本書對教師、研究人員、氣候變化科學家、能力建設者和政策制定者具有興趣。此外，這本書還可作為農業、林業、生態學、土壤科學和環境科學本科和研究生學生的額外閱讀材料。國內外農業科學家和政策制定者也會發現這本書很有用。
