CRC Press (Verlag)
978-1-032-03023-4 (ISBN)
The book discusses nano-phytoremediation: the use of nanotechnology in combination with phytoremediation to restore polluted environs. The potentiality of plants in association with nanomaterials to effectively remediate polluted areas is elaborated meritoriously in this book. New strategies are necessary because anthropogenic actions represent a serious threat to life on Earth. This book has given enough space for a discussion of innovative and efficient technologies to restore damaged environs primarily focused on nano-phytoremediation. The first part of the book is dedicated to exploring organic and inorganic pollution and the threats they pose to living forms. The second part explores the joint use of plants and nanomaterials and the nano-phytoremediation of water and soil ecosystems. The book offers readers extensive knowledge on nano-phytoremediation as a feasible strategy to clean environmental pollution. The key features of the book are as follows:
Nano-phytoremediation strategies to remediate soil and water ecosystems.
Special chapters dedicated to different kinds of pollutants and methods of phytoremediation.
Strategies to evaluate the success of nano-phytoremediation strategies, cost-effectiveness, and nano informatics to safe nanotechnology.
The book can be used as a primary or supplementary text in undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate courses such as biotechnology, biochemistry, and environmental engineering. It is an interesting edition for instructors, researchers, and scientists working on environmental management and pollution control.
Dr. Fernanda Maria Policarpo Tonelli (Ph.D.) is Assistant Professor at Federal University of São João del Rei, Divinópolis, MG, Brazil, where she teaches graduate and post-graduate students. She specializes in biotechnology/molecular biology and has been studying nanomaterials applications such as delivery and remediation as same as green synthesis protocols, and allelopathic potential of secondary metabolites from plants. The research projects have already resulted in 10 patent applications, three of them already analyzed and granted. She has published nine books, authored 15 scientific articles and more than 40 book chapters with international publishers. She has presented and participated in many national and international conferences and has helped in organizing various scientific events. Dr. Tonelli has also dedicated herself to the promotion of science and technology through co-funding a non-governmental organization. Dr. Tonelli is active in advocacy groups that support gender equality in science. Her efforts as a researcher have been recognized with various awards, including For Women in Science Brazil (awarded by L‘Oréal Brasil, UNESCO-Brazil, and Brazilian Academy of Sciences) and Under 30 Brazil (Forbes) as well as various certificates of merit. Dr. Rouf Ahmad Bhat (Ph.D.) pursued his doctorate at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology Kashmir (Division of Environmental Sciences), and is presently working in the Department of School Education, Government of Jammu and Kashmir. Dr. Bhat has been teaching graduate and postgraduate students of environmental sciences for the past three years. He is the author of more than 55 research articles (h-index 30; i-index 44; total citation 2500) and 40 book chapters, and has published more than 40 books with international publishers (Springer, Elsevier, CRC Press Taylor & Francis, Apple Academic Press, John Wiley, IGI Global). His specialization is in limnology, toxicology, phytochemistry, and phytoremediation. Dr. Bhat has presented and participated in numerous state, national, and international conferences, seminars, workshops, and symposia. In addition, he has worked as an associate environmental expert at the World Bank-funded Flood Recovery Project and as the environmental support staff in Asian Development Bank (ADB)-funded development projects. He has received many awards, appreciations, and recognition for his services to the science of water testing, air, and noise analysis. He has served as an editorial board member and a reviewer of reputed international journals. Dr. Bhat still writes and experiments with diverse capacities of plants for use in aquatic pollution remediation. Dr. Gowhar Hamid Dar (Ph.D.) is currently Assistant Professor in Environmental Science, Sri Pratap College, Cluster University Srinagar, Department of Higher Education (J&K). He has a Ph.D. in Environmental Science with a specialization in Environmental Microbiology (fish microbiology, fish pathology, industrial microbiology, taxonomy, and limnology). He has been teaching postgraduate and graduate students for many years in the Post-Graduate Department of Environmental Science, Sri Pratap College, Cluster University Srinagar. He has written more than 70 research articles (h-index 16; i-index 22; total citation >950) in international and national journals of repute and more than 20 books with international publishers (Springer, Elsevier, CRC Press Taylor & Francis, Apple Academic Press, John Wiley, IGI Global). Moreover, he supervises a number of students for the completion of degrees. He has been working for the last several years on the isolation, identification and characterization of microbes, their pathogenic behaviour, and the impact of pollution on the development of diseases in fish fauna. He has received many awards and appreciations for his service to science and development. In addition, he is a member of various research and academic committees. Furthermore, Dr. Dar is Principal Investigator and Co-Principal Investigator for different R&D projects sanctioned by the Government of India and the Government of Jammu and Kashmir. Dr. Khalid Rehman Hakeem (Ph.D., FRSB) is presently Professor at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. After completing his Ph.D. in Botany, with a specialization in Plant Ecophysiology and Molecular Biology from Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India in 2011, he worked as Assistant Professor at the University of Kashmir, Srinagar for a short period. Later, he joined Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia and worked there as Post-Doctorate Fellow in 2012 and Fellow Researcher (Associate Prof.) from 2013–2016. He joined King Abdulaziz University in August 2016 and was recently promoted to Professor. Dr. Hakeem has more than twelve years of teaching and research experience in plant eco-physiology, biotechnology and molecular biology, medicinal plant research, plant-microbe-soil interactions, and environmental studies. He is the recipient of several fellowships at both the national and international levels. He was recently elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, London (FRSB). Professor Hakeem has served as Visiting Scientist at Fatih Universiti, Istanbul, Turkey, and at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China. Currently, he is involved in a number of international research projects with different government organizations.
