Contributors from environmental science, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and other disciplines describe theories and practices of using living organisms to clean areas polluted by poisons and waste. The topics include heavy metal pollution and its management with bioremediation, applying genomics and proteomics in bioremediation, the effective management of agro-industrial residues as composting for mushrooms and utilizing spent mushroom substrate for bioremediation, the emerging role of phytoremediation by endophytic microorganisms, and effective waste water treatment and its management.

Bioremediation is an emerging field of environmental research. The objective of a bioremediation process is to immobilize contaminants (reactants) or to transform them into chemical products that do not pose a risk to human health and the environment. Toxicity and Waste Management Using Bioremediation provides relevant theoretical and practical frameworks and the latest empircal research findings on the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater using bioorganisms. Focusing on effective waste treatment methodologies and management strategies that lead to improved human and environmental health, this timely publication is ideal for use by environmenal scientists, biologists, policy makers, graduate students, and scholars in the fields of environmental science, chemistry, and biology.
