In recent years, air pollution has become a major worldwide
concern. Air pollutants can affect metabolic activity, impede
healthy development, and exhibit carcinogenic and toxic
properties in humans. Over the past two decades, the use of
microbes to remove pollutants from contaminated air streams has
become a widely accepted and efficient alternative to the
classical physical and chemical treatment technologies. Air
Pollution Prevention and Control: Bioreactors and Bioenergy
focusses on these biotechnological alternatives looking at both
the optimization of bioreactors and the development of cleaner
biofuels.

Bioenergy is the first reference work to give a broad overview of
bioprocesses for the mitigation of air pollution. Primarily
intended for researchers and students in environmental engineering,
biotechnology and applied microbiology, the book will also be of
interest to industrial and governmental researchers.
