Environmental contaminants are chemicals that accidentally or
deliberately enter the environment, often, but not always, as a
result of human activities. Some of these contaminants may have
been manufactured for industrial use, and because they are very
stable, they do not break down easily. If released to the
environment, these contaminants may enter the food chain. Other
environmental contaminants are naturally occurring chemicals, but
industrial activity may increase their mobility or increase the
amount available to circulate in the environment, allowing them to
enter the food chain at higher levels than would otherwise occur.
Environmental contaminants influence the physiological cell
reactions at different and heterogeneous basics and lead to
altering in normal cell function primarily at the molecular and
biochemical level. Molecular responses to such common environmental
stresses have been studied intensively over the last few years, in
which there is an intricate network of signaling pathways
controlling perception of these environmental stress signals, the
generation of second messengers and signal transduction. Recent
advances in many areas of plant and microbial research, including
genotyping, make scientists optimistic that valuable solutions will
be found to allow deployment/commercialization of strategies better
able to tolerate these environmental stresses. Environmental
remediation was historically viewed as an inherently sustainable
activity, as it restores contamination; however, researchers and
practitioners are increasingly recognizing that there can be
substantial environmental footprints and socioeconomic costs
associated with remediation. Sustainability is an imperative in the
emerging green and sustainable remediation movement, which is
reshaping the entire remediation industry. Understanding the
significant roles of sustainable or eco-friendly approaches in
mitigating environmental contaminants, the current subject has
recently attracted the attention of scientists from across the
globe. This comprehensive volume "Sustainable Management of
Environmental Contaminants: Eco-friendly Remediation Approaches"
highlights the various prospects involved in current scenario. The
current volume comprises the chapters from diverse areas dealing
with biotechnology, microbial technology, nanotechnology, molecular
biology, green and sustainable remediation, etc. I am hopeful that
this volume will furnish the requisite of all those who are working
or have interest in the current topic.
