Earthworm Technology in Organic Waste Management: Recent Trends and Advances

Earthworm Technology in Organic Waste Management: Recent Trends and Advances is a suitable contribution to the Waste and The Environment: Underlying Burdens And Management Strategies series that will be helpful in classifying and broadly addressing assessments, mitigation strategies, and the management of organic wastes using earthworms. In addition, the book provides a summary of the latest findings on emerging pollution-related issues, their sustainable management, and future perspectives. The book covers recent trends and developments in organic waste management, including the use of earthworms in municipal and industrial waste management, the role of earthworms in vermifiltration/vermiwash, and of vermicompost in crops. Finally, the book covers the potential of earthworms in the remediation of emerging contaminants. This includes antibiotic resistance genes, heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics, and other emerging pollutants that are not covered in-depth in previously published titles. Covers a broad range of information on different aspects of organic waste treatment by earthworm technology Illustrates how earthworms can be used in modeling, assessment and management of environmental issues caused by geogenic, industrial and emerging pollutants Highlights the reuse and recycling of industrial and municipal organic waste and recovery of value-added resources from organic waste INDICE: 1. Earthworm-Associated Bacterial Community and Their Role in Organic Waste Decomposition 2. How earthworms affect the microbial community during vermicomposting for organic waste recycling 3.
