<p>Environmental pollutants are posing a threat to ecological balance, human health and climate. Early detection and efficient remediation of these pollutants is important to prevent further damage. Various natural and synthetic materials have been studied and applied for detection and remediation of environmental pollutants. Biomaterials have gained importance to tackle challenges pertaining to environmental issues owing to advantages like biocompatibility, specificity, ease of manufacturing, biodegradability, economical and environment friendly nature.</p><p>This book discusses current techniques based on various biomaterials for detection of environmental pollutants. This includes advancement in various biomolecules used in biosensors for pollutant detection. The book covers basics as well as recent trends in bioremediation using biomolecules such as chitosan, alginate, pectin, peptides, biochar etc. Nanomaterial synthesized using bacterial, fungus, algae and plants are also discussed in the book. Advanced conversion techniques to synthesize biomaterials, application strategies for detection and remediation of pollutants, challenges in application, economic and environmental impact are also discussed in the book.</p>
