Microbe-Assisted Phytoremediation of Environmental Pollutants:
Recent Advances and Challenges provides comprehensive information
on the principles and practical knowledge of microbe-assisted
phytoremediation of organic and inorganic pollutants for
environmental safety. This book describes the physiological,
biochemical, microbiological, and molecular basis of
microbe-assisted phytoremediation and contains many relevant topics
to fill the gaps in developing an understanding of microbe-assisted
phytoremediation of environmental pollutants. The book provides
state-of-the-art knowledge on fundamental, practical, and
purposeful utilization of plant-associated bacteria (plant
growth-promoting rhizobacteria [PGPR] and endophytes) and
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi for plant-growth promotion and
enhanced phytoremediation of environmental pollutants in the
contaminated matrix. Features: Provides a state-of-the-art overview
of microbe-assisted phytoremediation Emphasizes the roles of PGPR,
endophytes, and mycorrhizal fungi in assisted phytoremediation
Elucidates biochemical and molecular mechanisms of microbe-assisted
phytoremediation Details field studies and success stories of
microbe-assisted phytoremediation Explores advances, challenges,
and future directions in microbe-assisted phytoremediation The book
serves as a valuable resource for researchers, ecotoxicologists,
environmental scientists and engineers, environmental
microbiologists and biotechnologists, environmental health and risk
scientists, environmental science managers and administrators,
remediation practitioners, environmental policymakers, and students
at the postgraduate and doctoral levels in the relevant fields who
wish to work on microbe-assisted phytoremediation of pollutants for
environmental safety and sustainability.
Achieving environmental sustainability with rapid industrialization
is a major challenge of current scenario worldwide. As globally
evident, industries are the key economic drivers, but are also the
major polluters as untreated/partially treated effluents discharged
from the industries is usually thrown into the aquatic resources
and also dumped unattended. Industrial effluents are considered as
the major sources of environmental pollution as these contains
highly toxic and hazardous pollutants, which reaches far off areas
due to the medium of dispersion and thus, create ecological
nuisance and health hazards in living beings. Hence, there is an
urgent to find ecofriendly solution to deal with industrial waste,
and develop sustainable methods for treating/detoxifying wastewater
before its release into the environment. Being a low cost and
eco-friendly clean technology, bioremediation can be a sustainable
alternative to conventional remediation technologies for treatment
and management of industrial wastes to protect public health and
environment. Therefore, this book (Volume I) covers the
bioremediation of different industrial wastes viz. tannery
wastewater, pulp and paper mill wastewater, distillery wastewater,
acid mine tailing wastes, and many more; which are lacking in a
comprehensive manner in previous literature at one place. A
separate chapter dedicated to major industries and type of waste
produced by them is also included. This book will appeal to
students, researchers, scientists, industry persons and
professionals in field of microbiology, biotechnology,
environmental sciences, eco-toxicology, environmental remediation
and waste management and other relevant areas, who aspire to work
on the biodegradation and bioremediation of industrial wastes for
environmental safety.
Achieving environmental sustainability with rapid industrialization
is currently a major global challenge. Industries are the key
economic drivers, but are also the main polluters as
untreated/partially treated effluents from industry are usually
discharged into the aquatic environment or dumped. Industrial
effluents often contain highly toxic and hazardous pollutants,
which cause ecological damage and present and health hazards to
living beings. As such, there is a pressing need to find
ecofriendly solutions to deal with industrial waste, and to develop
sustainable methods for treating/detoxifying waste before it's
released into the environment. As a low cost and eco-friendly clean
technology, bioremediation can offer a sustainable alternative to
conventional remediation technologies for the treatment and
management of industrial wastes. This book (Volume II) describes
the role of biological agents in the degradation and detoxification
of organic and inorganic pollutants in industrial wastes, and
presents recent bioremediation approaches for waste treatment and
management, such as constructed wetlands, electro- bioremediation
and nano-bioremediation, as well as microbial fuel cells. It
appeals to students, researchers, scientists, industry
professionals and experts in the field of microbiology,
biotechnology, environmental sciences, eco-toxicology,
environmental remediation and waste management and other relevant
areas who are interested in biodegradation and bioremediation of
industrial wastes for environmental safety.
Bioremediation for Environmental Sustainability: Approaches to
Tackle Pollution for Cleaner and Greener Society discusses many
recently developed and successfully applied bio/phytoremediation
technologies for pollution control and minimization, which are
lacking more comprehensive coverage in previous books. This book
describes the scope and applications of bio/phytoremediation
technologies and especially focuses on the associated
eco-environmental concerns, field studies, sustainability issues,
and future prospects. The book also examines the feasibility of
environmentally friendly and sustainable bio/phytoremediation
technologies to remediate contaminated sites, as well as future
directions in the field of bioremediation for environmental
sustainability.
This book explores the positive psychological aspects of religion
and spirituality in the Indian context. It discusses the concepts
and practices of Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Jainism,
and Sikhism and their impact on overall well-being. As the global
enthusiasm for Indian spirituality grows, this book brings together
scholars to share their perspectives and reflections on various
religious aspects. The chapters offer readers a psychological
"capsule" of mental health, well-being, compassion, kindness,
character strength, mind-body relationship, and mindfulness,
providing practical strategies for a better quality of life.
Furthermore, this book offers insights into the different
perspectives of happiness and well-being measured across diverse
demographics. It also provides a qualitative conceptualization of
happiness among older people, reflections on positive aging, and
highlights the facilitators and inhibitors of happiness. With its
comprehensive coverage and multidisciplinary approach, this book
serves as a valuable reference for postgraduate and doctoral
students of Psychology, as well as a treasure trove in the
libraries for researchers and faculties associated with spiritual
psychology, positive psychology, religious studies, comparative
literature, mental health professionals, academicians, and anyone
interested in allied health fields.
Bioremediation for Environmental Sustainability: Toxicity,
Mechanisms of Contaminants Degradation, Detoxification and
Challenges introduces pollution and toxicity profiles of various
organic and inorganic contaminants, including mechanisms of
toxicity, degradation, and detoxification by microbes and plants,
and their bioremediation approaches for environmental
sustainability. The book also covers many advanced technologies in
the field of bioremediation and phytoremediation, including
electro-bioremediation, microbial fuel cells, nano-bioremediation,
constructed wetlands, phytotechnologies, and many more, which are
lacking in other competitive titles existing in the market. The
book includes updated information, as well as future directions for
research, in the field of bioremediation of industrial wastes. This
book is a reference for students, researchers, scientists, and
professionals in the fields of microbiology, biotechnology,
environmental sciences, eco-toxicology, environmental remediation,
and waste management, especially those who aspire to work on the
biodegradation and bioremediation of industrial wastes and
environmental pollutants for environmental sustainability.
Environmental safety and sustainability with rapid
industrialization is one of the major challenges worldwide.
Industries are the key drivers in the world economy, but these are
also the major polluters due to discharge of potentially toxic and
hazardous wastes containing various organic and inorganic
pollutants, which cause environmental pollution and severe toxic
effects in living beings.
