Synopsis

Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Environmental and Health Impact of Hospital Wastewater narrates the origin (history) of pharmaceuticals discoveries, hospital wastewater and its environmental and health impacts. It covers microbiology of hospital wastewater (pathogens, multi-drug resistance development, microbial evolution and impacts on humans, animals, fish), advanced treatment options (including biological, physical and chemical methods), and highlights aspects required during hospital wastewater treatment processes. This book provides an amalgamation of all recent scientific information on hospital wastewater which is not available in the current literature.

• Introduces physical, chemical and molecular testing methods for the analysis and characterization of hospital wastewater
• Discusses the environmental impact and health hazards of hospital wastewater
• Describes the microbiological aspects of the hospital wastewater, like microbial community, metagenomics, pathogens, VBNC and mechanism of antibiotic resistance development
• Explains hospital wastewater and its role in microbial evolution
• Highlights future treatment options, guidelines and drug disposal tactics
