The environment of our planet is degrading at an alarming rate
because of non-sustainable urbanization, industrialization and
agriculture. Unsustainable trends in relation to climate change and
energy use, threats to public health, poverty and social exclusion,
demographic pressure and ageing, management of natural resources,
biodiversity loss, land use and transport still persist and new
challenges are arising. Since these negative trends bring about a
sense of urgency, short term action is required, whilst maintaining
a longer term perspective. The main challenge is to gradually
change our current unsustainable consumption and production
patterns and the nonintegrated approach to policy-making. This book
covers the broad area including potential of rhizospheric
microorganisms in the sustainable plant development in
anthropogenic polluted soils, bioremediation of pesticides from
soil and waste water, toxic metals from soil, biological treatment
of pulp and paper industry wastewater, sustainable solutions for
agro processing waste management, solid waste management on climate
change and human health, environmental impact of dyes and its
remediation. Various methods for genotoxicity testing of
environmental pollutants are also discussed and chapters on
molecular detection of resistance and transfer genes in the
environmental samples, biofilm formation by the environmental
bacteria, biochemical attributes to assess soil ecosystem
sustainability, application of rhizobacteria in biotechnology, role
of peroxidases as a tool for the decolorization and removal of dyes
and potential of biopesticides in sustainable agriculture. It
offers a unique treatment of the subject, linking various
protection strategies for sustainable development, describing the
inter-relationships between the laboratory and field
eco-toxicologist, the biotechnology consultant, environmental
engineers and different international environmental regulatory and
protection agencies.
