3. INTRODUCTION Environmental Biotechnology is the application of biological process and organisms to protect, restore, and manage the environment. Sustainable Development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

4. What is environmental biotechnology? Environmental Biotechnology is a branch of biotechnology that uses living organisms like bacteria, fungi, and plants, to solve environmental problems . Environment biotechnology deals with – Decontamination of environmental components Production of chemical biosensors Pollution prevention Waste minimization

5. “Applying biotechnology in environmental management to promote economic progress ,support green economy. Uses eco-friendly biological processes to reduce pollution.
Promotes renewable resources and energy efficiency.

6. Significance 1) Pollution control – Remove pollutants from air , water and soil using microbes and plants . Example – using bacteria to clean contaminated soil. 2) Waste management- Convert organic waste into useful products like biogas and compost . Reduces the need for landfilling and prevents environmental hazards.

7. 3) Waste water treatment - Uses micro – organisms to treat sewage and industrial waste , making water safe for reuse . 4)Sustainable development – Supports green technologies that reduce environmental impact. Promotes use of renewable resources and energy efficient processes. 5) Restoring damage ecosystem - Biotechnology can be used to restore ecosystems damaged by pollution or other human activities .

8. Scope

9. Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that deals with creating living products that enhance live and environmental health. It includes genetic engineering, microbial technology, plant tissue culture, and molecular diagnostics. Environmental biotechnology contributes to pollution control, waste management, and renewable energy through biofuels and bioplastics.

10. Principles Using biological systems to solve environmental problems, prevent pollution, recover resources, minimize energy consumption, and ensure sustainable solutions. Promoting renewable resources and reducing dependence on non-renewables. Minimizing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

11. BIOMARKERS _______________ A biological molecule found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues that is a sign of a normal or abnormal process, or of a condition or disease.
Also called molecular marker and signature molecule

12. Biosensors Analytical devices that combine a biological sensing element with a transducer to detect and measure pollutants. Monitoring air quality , Detecting heavy metals. Bioconversion Bioconversion is the process of using microorganisms or enzymes to convert waste materials or pollutants into useful products in an eco-friendly way. It is a key tool in environmental biotechnology for sustainable waste management.

13. Bioenergy In environmental biotechnology, bioenergy is produced by converting biomass and waste materials into useful energy forms like biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel, and hydrogen through microbial and enzymatic processes. Molecular ecology In environmental biotechnology, bioenergy is produced by converting biomass and waste materials into useful energy forms like biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel, and hydrogen through microbial and enzymatic processes.

14. Bioremediation The process of cleaning up the hazardous substances into non-toxic compounds is called the Bioremediation process. This process is majorly used for any kind of technology clean up that uses the natural microorganisms.

15. Advanced tools Biofertilizers Substances containing living microorganisms that enhance nutrient availability to plants by fixing nitrogen, solubilizing phosphorus, or stimulating growth. Examples – Rhizobium , Azotobacter , etc . Reduce chemical fertilizer use, improve soil fertility. Nano biotechnology Use of nanoparticles and nanomaterials for pollutant removal, water purification, and detection of toxins.
Example: Nano-iron particles for groundwater decontamination.

16. Future prospects Marine biotechnology - using marine microbes and algae for ocean pollution clean up and sustainable aquaculture. Pollution control- Biosensors, biofilters, and
genetically engineered microbes for cleaner air and water. Waste management & resource recovery - advanced bioremediation, waste-to-energy, and circular economy approaches.

17. Conclusion Environmental biotechnology plays an important role in keeping our environment clean and healthy. By using living organisms like microbes, plants, and enzymes, we can treat waste, control pollution, and produce renewable energy. It reduces the harmful effects of human activities and turns waste into useful products.
