Abstract

This chapter applies the principles introduced in Chapter 3 to provide a scientifically sound approach to present and future environmental problems caused or exacerbated by biotechnologies. The discussion begins with proven engineering interventions. These interventions were formerly considered sanitary engineering practice, but presently fall under the category of environmental engineering. The discussion highlights unique challenges presented by biotechnologies that are not ordinarily found in environmental engineering practice. This is followed by considerations of the proper design and implementation of environmental sampling and monitoring programs. All monitoring, cleanup, and other means of addressing pollutants must be based on the sound application of physical, chemical, and biological processes, with an eye toward achieving feasible and representative data to support risk assessment and other environmental decision-making.
