Sustainable Biological Environmental Remediation: Principles and Processes

This book addresses emerging technologies for the sustainable remediation of polluted environments, guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It explores contaminated land management practices, environmental risk assessment approaches, optimization techniques, and procedures used in environmental bio-reclamation. This book addresses emerging technologies for the sustainable remediation of polluted environments, guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It explores contaminated land management practices, environmental risk assessment approaches, optimization techniques, and procedures used in environmental bioreclamation. This book also examines genetic strategies to enhance bioremediation, the role of the green economy in promoting sustainable resource use, and methods for reducing carbon footprints. Additionally, it discusses policy and legal framework challenges associated with long-term remedial efforts. Features: Covers multiple aspects of sustainable biological environmental remediation technologies Promotes sustainable remediation using sustainability markers and best practices Examines environmental risk assessment methodologies as inputs for guiding long-term site reclamation Discusses current trends in biomonitoring and bioassessment research for sustainable environmental management Explains gene–environment interactions in the context of bioremediation. This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in environmental sciences, engineering, biotechnology, and bioremediation.
