Environmental Biotechnology
Environmental biotechnology involves using biological processes to solve environmental issues. It includes techniques like bioremediation, where microorganisms are used to clean up pollutants, and bioaugmentation, where beneficial microbes are added to enhance natural processes. Skills in this field include knowledge of biology, chemistry, and environmental science, as well as expertise in genetic engineering and data analysis. Environmental biotechnologists work to develop sustainable solutions for pollution control, waste management, and resource conservation.
