Thoroughly covering physical, chemical and biological principles that support biotechnologies, Environmental Biotechnology's readable text and ample figures and tables provide a scientifically credible basis for an introduction to environmental biochemodynamics. Integrated with discussions of actual and potential risks of various biotechnologies on the environment, this book provides a context for researchers, practitioners, and students in previously disparate disciplines such as microbiology, systems biology, environmental engineering, risk assessment, ecology and genetic engineering to critically assess the efficacy and long-term effects of biotechnologies on the environment."--Jacket.0 aCh. 1 Environmental biotechnology: an overview -- Ch. 2 A question of balance: using versus abusing biological systems -- Ch. 3 Environmental biochemodynamic processes -- Ch. 4 Systems -- Ch. 5 Environmental risks of biotechnologies -- Ch. 6 Reducing biotechnological risks -- Ch. 7 Applied microbial ecology: bioremediation -- Ch. 8 Biotechnological implications: a systems approach -- Ch. 9 Environmental risks of biotechnologies: economic sector perspectives -- Ch. 10 Addressing biotechnological pollutants -- Ch. 11 Analyzing the environmental implications of biotechnologies -- Ch. 12 Responsible management of biotechnologies -- App. 1 Background information on environmental impact statements -- App. 2 Cancer slope factors -- App. 3 Verification method for rapid polymerase chain reaction systems to detect biological agents -- App. 4 Summary of persistent and toxic organic compounds in North America, identified by the United Nations as highest priorities for regional actions -- App. 5 Sample retrieval from ECOTOX database for Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to DDT and its metabolites in freshwater.0 aPrint version record. 0aBioremediation. 0aBioremediationvCase studies. 7aBioremediation.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00832694 4aElectronic books. 7aCase studies.2fast0(OCoLC)fst0142376508iPrint version:aVallero, Daniel A.tEnvironmental biotechnology.bFirst editionz9780123750891w(OCoLC)503638971403ScienceDirectuhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780124077768
