Additional Information
The book will be immensely helpful for the researchers and faculties (academics and research) working on frontier areas on environmental biotechnology. Students at UG and PG level will get up to date information about the modern state of art technologies in the field of environmental science. Bioremediation of heavy metals pesticides, dyes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, biosensors in environmental biotechnology etc would be some of the key areas highlighted through this proposal. Sustainable solutions to the global climate changes and other environmental hazards are likely to be addressed through the outcome of this book proposal.
