    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.

  • Environmental Organic Chemistry for Engineers

    • 1st Edition

    • James G. Speight
    • English
    Environmental Organic Chemistry for Engineers clearly defines the principles of environmental organic chemistry and the role they play in forming remediation strategies. In this reference, the author explores parameter estimation methods, the thermodynamics, and kinetics needed to predict the fate, transports, and reactivity of organic compounds in air, water, and soils. The book's four part treatment starts with the classification of organic molecules and physical properties of natural organic matter, halocarbons, phenols, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, organophosphates, and surfactants. An overview of remediation technologies and a discussion of the interactions that lead to physical properties that affect chemical distribution in the environment is also detailed, as are the important reaction classes of organic molecules, including substituent effects and structure and activity relationships found in Part Two and Three. Part four is devoted to the strengths and weaknesses of different remediation technologies and when they should be employed.

  • Persistent Organic Pollutants in Asia

    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.
