Water is essential for human subsistence. Stable freshwater supplies are needed as a source of food, drinking water, for transportation, recreation and economic development. Despite their recognized importance, anthropogenic activities have altered freshwater ecosystems around t…
Nearly 100 churches have been torched and desecrated by devotees of Black Metal, the most extreme form of underground music on the planet. 'Lords of Chaos' investigates the leaders and followers of the demonic bands who generate this response.
Highway runoff, as a nonpoint source, may exert significant pollutant load on the catchment. Finding ways to mitigate nonpoint sources of pollutants is a matter of great concern for improving water quality. It was cited by the Environment Agency in 2005 that more than 80% of Eng…
The aim of this study was to develop a suitable monitoring protocol for mediated amperometric whole-cell biosensors for in situ assessment of heavy metals in soil. E. coli 8277, Pseudomonas 9773, Pseudomonas 9046 and Pseudomonas 8917 were screened as biosensor catalysts to selec…
Bioremediation

fromRecent advances in marine biotechnology
Bioremediation is a technology that utilizes the metabolic potential of microorganisms to clean up contaminated environments. In this volume, international scientists present the results of recent research in marine bioremediation. A sampling of topics includes the bioremediatio…
This book is an initial attempt to estimate the loads of heavy metal and nutrient loads into an industrial effluent receiving rivers of a typical industrializing catchment. It shows the effects and impacts of diffuse and point sources of these loads into the rivers, and illumina…
