    This course covers various biotechnological methods for environmental protection and remediation. It focuses on using biological processes to treat wastewater and remove pollutants through biosorption, bioremediation, and other approaches. The course also examines applying biotechnology to dispose of solid waste safely and treat industrial effluents. Students will learn about using microbes, plants, and algae to clean contaminated land and water. They will gain an understanding of environmental issues and biological methods for maintaining clean environments and restoring degraded areas. The course is assessed through tests, assignments, seminars, quizzes, attendance, and a final exam.
