Textbook in PDF format

Technology has the paradoxical ability to be both the source of environmental damage and our best chance for healing it today and preventing it in the future. Indeed, enormous scientific and technological efforts have been undertaken over the last three decades to better understand the nature of environmental degradation and to develop methods to mitigate the impacts of past pollution.
Biotechnology is the use of biology to the solution of problems and the creation of valuable goods. To date, the development of methods to handle aqueous, solid, and gaseous wastes has been the primary emphasis of environmental biotechnology. As it becomes evident that waste streams must be addressed holistically, new environmental concerns continue to emerge. Emerging contaminants such as heavy metals and toxic pollutants in wastewater can cause contamination for our foods/drinks and animal feeds or possibly reduced yield of our crops. The main pollutants include bacteria, viruses, parasites, fertilizers, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, nitrates, phosphates, plastics, faecal waste, and even radioactive
substances.
