Finally, the book covers the potential of earthworms in the remediation of emerging contaminants. This includes antibiotic resistance genes, heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics, and other emerging pollutants that are not covered in-depth in previously published titles.
- Covers a broad range of information on different aspects of organic waste treatment by earthworm technology
- Illustrates how earthworms can be used in modeling, assessment and management of environmental issues caused by geogenic, industrial and emerging pollutants
- Highlights the reuse and recycling of industrial and municipal organic waste and recovery of value-added resources from organic waste
