    Bioremediation of Emerging Contaminants: Omics and Phytotech Approaches explores transgenic plant technologies and their important role in addressing environmental pollution. The book provides practical applications for improving environmental management strategies by examining established protocols and innovative techniques that enhance phytoremediation efficacy. By addressing current environmental challenges, this book not only advances academic understanding but also develops practical solutions for pollution control. It is a critical resource that assimilates the latest methodologies on genetic engineering and omics approaches for an extensive range of contaminants, from pharmaceuticals to heavy metals.

  • Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs): Analytical Techniques, Environmental Fate and Biological Effects

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 67
    • English
    This book focuses on those organic chemicals that are regulated by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). as well as organic chemical with the attributes of being persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to ecosystem and human beings, criteria used by the Stockholm Convention for screening POP candidates. Because of the unfavourable properties of POPs, numerous research efforts have been directed toward investigating their input sources, fate, and effects, with the help of continuously improving analytical technologies. The contributors to this book provide an integrated assessment of existing data, which will benefit both the scientific and management communities in planning further research projects and/or pollution control measures.

  • Persistent Organic Pollutants in Asia

    Sources, Distributions, Transport and Fate

    • English
    Large amounts of data obtained through environmental monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 10 Asian countries and Australia have been compiled and explored using principles of environmental chemistry, toxicology, and risk assessment. This book also includes descriptions and discussions of current governmental policies, monitoring and surveillance programs, history of manufacturing and applications, emission sources, impacts on human health, and cross-boundary transport of POPs in these countries.
