1st Edition
Integrated Waste Management Trends, Policies, and Perspectives
This book addresses multiple focus areas identified and provides solutions with respect to the circular economy, water pollution, potable water availability, reducing population impact on the environment, and better health by integrated waste management. It explains techniques to handle waste generation, characterization, minimization, collection, separation, treatment, and disposal, and includes chapters that address waste management policy, education, and economic and environmental assessments.
Features:
- Introduces waste management, pollution and toxicity profile of potentially toxic environmental contaminants and industrial wastes.
- Describes field studies on the application of microbes and plants in bio/phytoremediation of environmental contaminants/industrial wastes.
- Reviews eco-friendly remediation techniques such as phytoremediation, vermi-remediation, nano-remediation, myco-remediation, and so forth.
- Presents recent advances and challenges in bioremediation research and applications in environmental management.
- Details underlying tools and techniques for sustainable waste management and (nature based) solutions in each chapter.
