Resumen:
The book compiles an update information about the state of
bioremediation in emerging Latin American countries. Some of the studied
regions are sites that suffered decades of pollution by agrochemicals,
heavy metals and industrial waste due to the lack of control by
government regulations. Such is the case of Northern Argentina, where
were illegally deposited over 30 tn of obsolete organochlorine
pesticides in 1994. The content has focused in the use of native
organisms (from bacteria to plants) as a viable solution to the problem
of pollution, using low-cost and powerful techniques, socially well
accepted and appropriate from the environmental point of view. In this
context, levels of pesticide found in the Latin American population are
informed. It was also displayed as a multidisciplinary approach based on
concerns of a diverse group of researchers (biochemists, biologists,
chemical engineers and geneticists) about a global problem, dealing with
specific cases of study, with a view to project their findings to
worldwide. In this regard, researchers provide their findings to
regulatory sectors, whom could make appropriate decisions.
