Microbial technology for health and environment

Microbial technology for health and environment / Pankaj Kumar Arora, editor.

Rampant industrialization has caused high levels of contamination by various toxic chemicals in our water bodies, which is a matter of concern in terms of ecosystems, as well as human and animal health. Polluted wastewater can contaminate drinking water and is also is a causal factor for bio-magnifi...
