Environmental science and biotechnology are the fast-developing subjects of today, and therefore examination of waste water quality and biotechnological approach in effluent treatment gain more significance. This book discusses the basic principles of various instruments and the analytical methods in physical, chemical and biological characterization of sewage, industrial effluents and soil. It also deals with the suitable techniques for treating different kinds of waste waters. Advanced microbial and biotechnological methods are discussed in detail. It compiles a wide range of concise laboratory procedures, providing a clear understanding about the concepts of the experiments and complete details about the methodology along with the theoretical background.
