Preface
Pollution is creating a critical situation for health and environment due to its hazardous nature and has become a worldwide issue for environmentalists. A number of carcinogenic compounds are daily discharged into soil and water by various means. The presence of these compounds in water and soil not only disturbs the ecosystem of our earth but also creates a risk for health of living beings. Several technologies have been developed to remove these compounds from soil and water. Microbial technology has gained attention as microbes are able to degrade these compounds without harming the environment. The book focuses on various aspects of microbial technology in health, environment, and agriculture. This book consists of 14 chapters related to microbial peroxidases, wastewater treatment, solid waste management, quorum quenching, ant
