BIOENGINEERED WATER DETOXIFICATION

This book presents an innovative bioengineered approach to solving one of today's most critical environmental challenges-petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in water systems. Integrating environmental chemistry microbial ecology and green biotechnology Dr. Charles Fawole introduces a vermi-microbial detoxification system that uses earthworms and microbial consortia to remove over 95% of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) from contaminated water.Grounded in rigorous experimentation and sustainability science the work demonstrates how bioengineered systems can restore water quality enhance agricultural productivity and support ecosystem resilience. Aligned with UN SDGs 6 13 and 15 it offers practical frameworks for implementing low-cost nature-based remediation technologies in oil-impacted regions worldwide.Bioengineered Water Detoxification is an essential resource for scientists engineers and policymakers committed to sustainable water governance environmental restoration and climate-resilient development.
