At the dawn of the 21st century, biotechnology is emerging as a key
enabling technology for sustainable environmental protection and
stewardship. Biotechnology for the Environment: Strategy and
Fundamentals captures the dynamism of environmental biotechnology
as it addresses the molecular functioning of microorganisms as
cleanup agents, their communal interactions in natural and polluted
ecosystems, and the foundations of practical bioremediation
processes. Chapters on biological pollution control in the chemical
industry, biodegradation of persistent molecules (halogenated
compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated
biphenyls, pesticides, detergents, etc.), microbial diversity with
impact on global change, bioaugmentation strategies, and sensors
for ecotoxicological monitoring, will be of value to environmental
scientists, engineers, and decision-makers involved in the
development, evaluation, or implementation of biological treatment
systems.

volume 3B, and for information on Waste Water and Waste Gas
Handling, see Focus on Biotechnology volume 3C.
