As we know, rapid industrialization is a serious concern in the
context of a healthy environment and public health due to the
generation of huge volumes of toxic wastewater. Although various
physico-chemical and biological approaches are available for the
treatment of this wastewater, many of them are not effective. Now,
there a number of emerging ecofriendly, cost-effective approaches
utilizing microorganisms (bacterial/fungi/algae), green plants or
their enzymes, and constructed wetland treatment systems in the
treatment of wastewaters containing pollutants such as endocrine
disrupting chemicals, toxic metals, pesticides, dyes, petroleum
hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds. This book provides a much-needed,
comprehensive overview of the various types of wastewater and their
ecotoxicological effects on the environment, humans, animals and
plants as well as various emerging and eco-friendly approaches for
their treatment. It provides insights into the ecological problems and
challenges in the treatment and management of wastewaters generated by
various sources.
