Module-I
Introduction to environmental biology
Basic components of environment
Concept of ecosystem, abiotic andbiotic componants. Environmental polution: Air, water, and soil pollution.
x Environmental monitoring: environmental impacts and their assessments using bioindicators,
Biomarkers, biosensors and toxicity testing Air, water and soil sampling
Analyses of samples by physical, chemical and biological methods
Module-II
Waste treatment strategies
x Classification and characterization of waste
x Principles and mechanisms of waste treatment
x Nitrification and denitrification – microbial fundamentals and application
Aerobic processes: Activated sludge, oxidation ditches, trickling filters, towers, rotating discs, rotating drums, oxidation ponds.
Anaerobic processes: Anaerobic digestion, anaerobic filters, up flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor.
x Economics and special aspects of waste treatment
Examples of treatment schemes for waste waters of dairy, tannery, sugar and antibiotic industry
x Biotechnology in reduction of CO2 emission
Module -III
Environmental Forensic
x Introduction and applications of environmental forensic
Principles and methods of chemical fingerprinting(crude oil and refined products) Forensic techniques used in environmental litigation
Environmental forensic microscopy Case studies in environmental forensic
MOdule-IV
Biodegradation and bioremediation
x Principle and mechanism of biodegradation,
Biodegradation of xenobiotic compounds (Lignin, Hydrocarbons, Detergents, Dyes and pesticides)
x Phytoremediation: Use of plants for removal of organic and metallic pollutants
x Microbial interaction with metallic elements, metal toxicity, molecular mechanism of metal resistance and metal extraction
Biosurfactants: Microbial production and application Biodetorioration – Principles, prevention and control
Module-V
