Written by an international authority on environmental microbiology and virology, Wastewater Microbiology, Second Edition is an invaluable reference tool that provides readers with concise, up-to-date coverage of microbiological developments and public health aspects in the field of wastewater treatment. This new edition supplies readers with a basic background in microbiology, metabolism, and ecology and uses the principles and recent discoveries in engineering and microbiology to examine the practical issues of treatment, disinfection, and remediation. Complete with new figures and tables, as well as color photographs shot using rRNA probes, this updated edition covers topics that include: Recent trends in wastewater microbiology and genetic tools used in the detection of parasites and pathogens, including biotechnological applications for treatment plants The emergence of new pathogens in water and the microbiology of drinking water The disposal of biosolids and wastewater in wetlands and receiving waters The new methodology revealing the heterogeneous structure of biofilms and their complex biodiversity Updated information on pollution control biotechnology An authoritative guide for all researchers, administrators, and engineers in the field of microbiology, Wastewater Management, Second Edition is also an essential reference for civil engineers, public health officials, and students involved in environmental sciences.

Product Description: The author of this dissertation analyzes the impacts of income distribution on mobility behavior in Europe. Based on observations in European mobility surveys, the significance of income is quantified and implemented in the macroeconomic, transport, and environmental System Dynamics model ASTRA (Assessment of Transport Strategies)...read more

Product Description: This book has been a long time in preparation. Initially it grew out of our frustrating attempts over the past ten years to identify the filamentous bacteria seen in large numbers in most activated sludge plants, and the realization that we know very little about them and the other microbial populations in these systems...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Enteroviruses, hepatitis A virus (HAV) and other enteric viruses can survive wastewater treatment processes, even after chlorination, and are found in the final effluents. These viruses can be detected by cell culture techniques with observations for cytopathic effect (CPE)...read more
