The precarious activities of human beings bring undesirable changes
in the environment. The environment is degrading due to
overpopulation, industrialisation, heavy metals, pesticide,
antibiotics, and other hazardous chemicals from one or more
sources. As a result, humanity has to ponder over the condition of
the environment, which is getting worse day by day. The more
efforts humanity puts forward to control nature, the more
environmental pollution increases, and because of this the future
is getting more and more insecure. So, environmental protection is
the primary concern for the future of humanity. There are vast
scientific communities working towards the development of
eco-technologies, which can improve environmental sustainability
without hampering the development of society. Environmental
sustainability defines how people should study and protect
ecosystems, air quality, integrity and focus on the elements that
place stress on the quality of the environment. The environmental
protection agencies recognised that developing technology acts as a
key to this sustainability and protecting the environment from
damages that technological advances could potentially bring.
Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology has emerged as very
important and promising disciplines in the last two decades.
Biotechnology has shown a great promise in solving a plethora of
environmental problems. So, different authors regularly try to fill
the gap of knowledge in this field. The major goal of this book is
to emphasise all the disciplines from the subject of environmental
microbiology and biotechnology. This book fills a long felt gap in
the field of environmental sustainability and presents chapters
authored by most active researchers in this area. Considerable
emphasis in the book is given on all the currently significant
research topics/areas, which can be used in the future for the
sustainable development of society through environmental
protection. In addition, we have attempted to provide balanced
coverage of advancements that have been achieved to protect the
environment. So, we can anticipate that this book has valuable
knowledge for all the academic levels, with the main emphases on
scientific community. The leading researchers can find information
about different approaches for environmental protection. This book
will also prove as a valuable reference for graduate as well as
post-graduate students to cover the syllabi related to technologies
for environmental protection. The authors provide comprehensive,
accessible and updated information to teachers, students and
researchers in the fields of biotechnology, environmental science,
microbiology, botany, zoology, environmental engineering and many
other disciplines.
