Man has exploited the nature in various ways to his own benefit without realizing long term consequences. Presently, rapid industrialization, modern agricultural practices, automobile production, population growth and destruction of natural resources are some of the important factors responsible for increasing pollution. The unchecked pollution of the environment has made the life of mankind miserable on this planet. The book embodies all kinds of recent information on different aspects of pollution problems. The impact of environmental pollution on human health has been described. Ecohydrological features of the Holy Ganga river, microbial contamination of water resources, conservation of coastal and island areas and effect of acid rain have been nicely elucidated. Environmental problems related to coal mines, arid zone, pesticides, fossils, past biodiversity crisis have been vividly discussed. Effects of various toxicants on biological systems, metal poisoning, atmospheric reactions, chemical toxicity and health hazards, use of antidotes, biochemical monitoring and toxicity assessment have been thoroughly presented. Environmental sustainability, wetland management and role of vermitech in pollution abatement have also been given. All the chapters provide important information in an up-to-date fashion and in a readable and intelligible way. Overall, the readers will find the book interesting in the present context of environmental deterioration. In fact, it has been an endeavour to make a comprehensive compilation dealing with not only the basic aspects of environmental biology but also its applied parts. 1 environmental contamination and human health risks. 2 ecohydrological features of the ganga river. 3 microbial contamination of drinking water sources: a real hazard in modern india. 4 conservation and monitoring of coastal and inland areas for fisheries and aquaculture. 5 acid rain and plants. 6 environmental problems in and around opencast coal mines. 7 plant growth and development in arid environment of NW india. 8 insects and environment. 9 ecological distribution of rodents in desert environment. 10 pesticides. 11 biochemical effects of pollutants of fish. 12 studies of fluoride, aluminium and arsenic toxicity in mammals and amelioration by some antidotes. 13 involvement of radicals in atmospheric reactions and chemical toxicity: an overview. 14 chelating agents and their use in metal poisoning. 15 agricultural and environmental aspects of poultry waste management. 16 plant fossils as marker of palaeoenvironment. 17 key elements of environment oriented cost mangement(EoCM). 18 chemical toxicity and health hazards. 19 environmental legistation : indian context. 20 biodiversity crises in the geological past and present. 21 ecological prespectives of baya birds in the western ghats, karnataka. 22 acetylcholinesterase enzyme: a tool for monitoring environmental toxicity in mammals. 23 toxicity assessment for environmenta safety. 24 chemical constraints of water and their management for sustainable health and environment. 25 heavy metals and nutritive calories in muscles of select fish and prawn harvested from dahanu creek, west coast of india. 26 environmental sustainability in brackishwater shrimp aquafarming. 27 from forest to fish-a catchment modification approach for the environmental management in wetland ecosystem. 28 role of vermitechnology in pollution abatement.

Bioresource Technology" contains 24 important and interesting chapters on various aspects of bioresources. It deals with the technological potentials of animals, plants and microorganisms. Several leading scientists have contributed articles pertaining to biological and biotechnological potentials of bioresources. The book covers a wide range of valuable topics on diversity of bioresources, ecorestoration, bioremediation, biofertilizer production, biocontrol and bioprotection, biological indicators, medicinal resources, biotechnological resources and human eco-technology. These technology-oriented topics will renew interest in bioresource wealth and would play a key role in motivating scientists and other audiences to work for future need on a sustainable and environmentally safe basis. It will help considerably to generate thoughts to bring biotechnology door to door for evergreen revolution, environmental protection and eradication of poverty. The book will provide readers to keep aware about the current knowledge on the biological resources for future progress. This reference book may be useful to the students pursuing advanced and specialized courses, teachers, scientists, industrialists, environmental lawyers, rural technologists and the other interested audiences in general. The feedback from users will indicate real success of the book. 1 bioresource diversity. 2 ecorestoration. 3 bioremediation. 4 biofertilizers and biocontrol. 5 ecotechnological management. 6 biomedical resources.
