Preface
Rapid industrialization towards better economic development has resulted in
environmental degradation globally. Major contamination sources from industry,
agriculture and urban areas are a threat to the natural environment, the impacts of
which are severe in both developed and developing countries. The accumulation,
mobilization and toxicity of various contaminants in soils and groundwater are
degrading the natural environment and are limiting the sustainable development
of the nation as well. There is an urgent need for the conservation and effective
utilization of natural resources; looking towards adoption of low cost techniques,
low waste generation and environmentally friendly approaches to remediate
contamination.
Increased need for the remediation of the diverse and ever-increasing classes of
waste and waste dumping sites has created a demand for improved and newer
remediationmethodsthatareapplicableatlowcostandforawiderscopeofwaste
management. A dramatic increase in the use of biological methods of waste
remediation has been evidenced showing a positive inclination in environmental
conservation. In addition to the generic studies benefited through waste remedia-
tion,therearesomecurrentfactorsthatmakebiologicalapproachesmoreattractive

all aspects of land-, air- and water-based pollution. The recent issues related to
environment deterioration and also biological approaches towards restoring the
ecosystem is dealt with focusing on the role of bacteria, fungi and biosynthesized
nanoparticles in pesticide degradation, dye degradation, dairy effluent treatment,
food waste management, paper cup degradation, nitrate removal and heavy metal
removal. In most cases, bioremediation can lead to simple organic constituents
through reduction of wastes. Some chapters emphasize on bioenergy and bio-
products such as biohydrogen, bioethanol and bioplastics as derived products.
