DESCRIPTION |
|
| The advent of new technologies has resulted in extensive exploitation of the environment causing serious environmental problems. It has become very important to adopt clean technologies for pollution prevention as well as modern technologies for remediation and management of environment. Biotechnology has emerged as a powerful and valuable tool for employing clean technologies and for sustainable environmental management. The Center for Clean Environment Technology, Bangalore University is closely cooperating with the Center Natural Resources University of Florida and the Center for Environmental Studies, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, USA in addressing the above issues. A number of workshops have been conducted by the above cooperating institutions in India as well as in the USA to discuss the latest developments in biotechnology for management of environment. These workshops have facilitated intensive interaction between scientists and environment experts from India and the USA. The current publication is a selection of papers presented during three workshops hosted by the Center for Clean Environment Technology, Bangalore University. These workshops include Indo-US workshop on Applications of Biotechnology for Clean Environment and Energy in August 1998, Indo-US workshop on Waste Management and Role of Biotechnology in Waste Reuse in May 1999 and Biotechnology for Environmental Security in January 2001. The book also contains a few invited articles by renowned experts from different parts of the world. The articles discuss the latest technologies available for monitoring the environment, application of clean technologies for pollution prevention and biotechnology as a tool for solving some of the current problems. |
