Description
Biodegradation has been the subject of active concern for the past 40 years. Recently, the field has expanded to encompass a wide variety
of chemicals, a broad array of issues, and the development of the new bioremediation industry. This book presents the basic principles
of biodegradation and shows how these principles relate to bioremediation. Authored by a world-renowned environmental microbiologist, Biodegradation and Bioremediation presents microbiological, chemical, toxicological, environmental, engineering, and
technological aspects of the subject.
Audience
Professionals, researchers, and graduate students in environmental and civil engineering, applied microbiology, toxicology, environmental
chemistry, hydrology, and soil and water science. Also suitable for courses in environmental sciences, as well as for industrial and
government researchers who desire knowledge about biodegradation and bioremediation.
