Environmental Biotechnology for Soil and Wastewater Implications on Ecosystems
暫譯: 環境生物技術在土壤與廢水上的生態系統影響

本書包含了環境研究的一些主要事實和解決方案，以及其對生態系統的重要性。書中不同章節詳細討論了生物技術在廢水處理和去除廢水中毒素的應用，並探討了其對生態系統的影響。與水處理相關的先進技術以及平衡生態系統中各種基本組件的技術解決方案也得到了展示。各種毒素的影響，主要是由各行各業產生的化學廢物，已被準確識別，並討論了其影響及相應的解決方案。本書還匯集了來自該領域知名科學家和研究人員的各種想法和觀點，並提供了現代化的技術視角。特別強調了保護和維持我們的生態系統，以拯救所有生物的必要性。作者還試圖在生物修復和生態系統之間架起一座橋樑，將這兩者放在一個共同的平台上，以便更好地理解和解決各種關鍵問題，並利用尖端技術提供解決方案。在這一特定的研究方面，本書的創新性無與倫比，展示了該領域研究人員、學者和工業人員的各種未來機會。

Dr. Rita Kundu, Professor of Calcutta University, Department of Botany. Her specialization is on Cell Biology and Genetics. She did pioneering research in Cancer genetics. As part of her work in cancer biology she worked on inducing cell death either through apoptosis /autophagy /any other way, in the cervical cancer cell lines using traditional medicinal plants and other organic sources ( marine/ fresh water algal compounds, microbial compounds, synthetic organic compounds)to regulate cell proliferation. She has also worked on phytoremediation. Presently her prime interest is to identify the metal resistant crop (rice) verities of south West Bengal and study their stress responses. She is the author of numerous papers.

Dr. Rajiv Narula received his Bachelor's Degree with an Honors in Botany from the esteemed Presidency College (now Presidency University), Calcutta in 2001. He went on to get a Masters in Biotechnology from GGD University, Chhattisgarh which he graduated winning top honors (First Class - Gold Medal as University Topper) in 2003. He came to US in Fall 2005 from India to pursue a PhD in Environmental Engineering from Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY. After completing his doctoral thesis on Pathogen Reduction and Recycling of Bedding Materials on Dairy Farms (May 2011), he joined State University of New York in Canton in Fall 2011, first as an instructor and finally being hired as an Assistant Professor in Environmental Science and Chemistry in Fall 2012.

Mrs. Rajashree Paul has obtained her B. tech in Computer Science and Engineering from Kalyani University, West Bengal, India, and MS degree in Computing Science from Simon Fraser University, Canada. She has over 10 years of experience in software industry and is currently Assistant Professor in Computer Science Department in University of Engineering and Management, Kolkata. Her present research interest is the study of electronic, optical and mechanical properties of Quantized Structures. Mrs. Paul is affiliated with the conferences and workshops both in India and abroad, organizes different technical presentations and various industry-University interactions.

Prof. Susmita Mukherjee, Head of Department of Biotechnology, University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata. She did her Graduation and Post graduation in Zoology. Having ten years of teaching experience, she has participated in different national and international conferences and has authored many papers. Her research interest is in Environmental Biotechnology, as part of it, she has worked on the implications of different ecological factors on the sewage fed fish with special reference to East Kolkata Wetlands- the Ramsar site. She has worked on the environmental aspect of solar photovoltaic cells, which is apparently green energy. Presently, she is working towards the phytoremediation of Arsenic and other heavy metals by microalgae to use it on Sewage Treatment Plants. Also to see the extent of bioaccumulation of As within the crop and bio-magnification among the local community in an Arsenic prone area of West Bengal.
