Inhaltsangabe

Bioremediation of Emerging Contaminants from Soils: Soil Health Conservation for Improved Ecology and Food Security deals with current challenges of sustainable soil health using eco-friendly approaches. This book provides ways of reducing the chemical burden on the soil by maintaining balance in terms of society, environment, and economy, which are considered basic pillars of sustainability.

Designed to highlight soil health best practices for both environmental and agricultural sustainability, these approaches are also considered important for improving global food security by ensuring safe growing conditions for crops for food and feed. Presented in two parts, this book first highlights emerging contaminants and their sources. The second part explores a variety of steps and tools for addressing contaminated soils, including bio- and phytoremediation options. Case studies in each part provide real-world insights for practical application.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Dr. Prasann Kumar, assistant professor cum research intensive faculty in the
Department of Agronomy, School of Agricultural (ICAR-Accredited), Lovely
Professional University, Punjab, specializes in stress physiology, plant tissue culture,
physiology of plant?microbe/pathogen interaction, and biodiversity management.
Dr. Kumar has completed the International Agricultural Rural Development
Programme from Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, United States. He has
received a doctorate from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. He also has
authored 40 books published by national and international publishers, which find
a place in national as well as various Overseas Institutions’ libraries. He has
guided 19 MSc students for their thesis.

Prof. Veena Chaudhary is working as an associate professor in the Department
of Chemistry at Meerut College, Meerut, affiliated with CCS University, Meerut.
Dr. Chaudhary is deeply attached to chemistry, with a specialization in environmental
chemistry. She has to her credit more than 50 research papers, 2 book
chapters, and 20 abstracts. She received numerous awards, including a Young
Scientist Award, a Fellow Scientist Award, and numerous others, for her contributions
to the environmental field for the advancement of the social, welfare, and
agricultural sectors. She is a life member of several scientific societies. She also
visited abroad several times to attend international conferences and seminars for
the purpose of gathering and sharing scientific knowledge. She is handling several
research projects funded by DST, UP-CST, and higher education in Uttar
Pradesh.

Eric D. van Hullebusch is a Full Professor in Biogeochemistry of Engineered Ecosystems at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, Université Paris Cité, France. He holds a Ph.D. in Aquatic Chemistry and Microbiology from
Université de Limoges. After a Marie Curie fellowship at Wageningen University & Research, where he worked on optimizing anaerobic sludge reactorswith respect to trace metal
speciation and bioavailability, he was appointed Associate Professor in 2005 at Université Gustave Eiffel. A very prolific researcher and author, his key interests lie in the biogeochemistry of metals and metalloids in engineered systems, pollutant remediation, and circular resource recovery through biohydrometallurgical techniques. He is especially focused on sustainable strategies
for waste treatment, soil remediation, and recovering technology-critical elements
from agricultural and industrial wastes.

Dr. Rosa Busquets is currently working as an Associate Professor in the School
of Life Sciences, Pharmacy and Chemistry, Faculty of Health Science Social Care
and Education, Kingston University, Penrhyn Road Campus, Kingston upon
Thames, United Kingdom. She works toward pushing the barriers of analytical
chemistry and achieving significant improvements in monitoring molecules of
special environmental relevance. Rosa is a specialist in chromatography-mass spectrometry and
in the analysis of complex matrices. She is particularly interested in environmental monitoring and
remediation. She carries out research to remove contaminants that pose a major
threat to ecosystems due to their toxicity and high mobility and can therefore contaminate
fresh water and affect our health. Nanoparticles, pesticides, plastic degradation
products, and pharmaceuticals are among these contaminants.
