Amazon.com description: Product Description: Wastewater Microbiology In recent years, there has been increased worldwide focus on wastewater and sewage disposal. Environmental, economic, and public health risks associated with wastewater and sewage spills have reached near epidemic proportions and are of global concern. Microbiologists and environmental engineers alike are concerned about the role of microorganisms in water and wastewater treatment as well as the fate of pathogens and parasites in engineered systems. Written for students and professionals alike, Wastewater Microbiology offers a comprehensive, timely exploration of the interface between engineering and microbiology. It provides an assessment of the biotic aspects of wastewater and the various treatment methods available. As an international authority on environmental microbiology and virology, Gabriel Bitton takes the reader from the fundamentals of microbial biology, metabolism, and ecology, through discussions of process microbiology and biotransformations, to a detailed analysis of the epidemiological factors and public health risks associated with wastewater. Wastewater Microbiology emphasizes the practical issues of treatment, disinfection, and remediation, with emphasis on such topics as:
- Bulking and foaming in activated sludge plants
- Anaerobic treatment of wastewater and sludge
- Biological aerosols
- Pollution control biotechnology
- Biotransformation of xenobiotics and metals in wastewater treatment plants
- Toxicity testing in plants using microorganisms
- Wastewater reuse
