Biotechnology and the environment: Research needs

Book ·
OSTI ID:6013498
This book discusses research needs relating to the effects of biotechnology on the environment. The manner in which the release of genetically-altered organisms will effect the environment, and whether they should be released at all, has been a subject of great interest for many years. Questions including how to monitor and control the environmental effects of the release of synthesis of novel organisms, are answered. The book presents a series of papers which cover major areas of concern - environmental effects, health effects, monitoring and quality assurance, and control technologies - as each of these applies to research needs in biotechnology and the environment.
