The last five decades have witnessed a tremendous upsurge in the amount of xenobiotic Compounds in the environment by industrial activities, some of them being highly toxic, recalcitrant with high bio-accumulating and bio-magnification properties. The aim of this book is to determine the processes and utilization of raw materials in the industries, formation and release of pollutants (air, Water and Soil) in the environment, effect and impact of the pollutants on biotic and abiotic components of the environment and finally identifying the physical, chemical, biological and Alternating methods for treatment of pollutants in the industrial effluents.
Indu Shekhar Thakur is Associate Professor in the School of Environmental Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. He has the distinction of joining Gesellschaft f?r Biotechnologische Forschung mbH (1992-1994), Braunschweig, Germany as a Postdoctoral BATI scientist, and developing biotechnological methods for degradation and bioremediation of the chlorinated compounds in the environment. He has also generated strainspecific monoclonal antibody probes against the dioxin-degrading bacteria, Sphingomonas sp. RW1, and applied it for the detection of bacterial strain for the bioremediation of dioxin.
