Preface
Thehumanpopulationisincreasingrapidly,andpeoplearemigratingfromvillages
tourbanareasfortheirlivelihood.Inthird-worldcountries,around2.1billionofthe
populacewillberesidingincitiesby2030.Thefactitselfsaysthatthepopulationis
burgeoning at an alarming rate, coupled with climate change and food security
issues, which compels us to adopt an intensive farming system to supply the food
requirements.Thesoilisanonrenewableresource,anditsformationtakesthousands
ofyears.Itmaybeconsideredthatthenativeinherentcapacityofthisversatileand
worthy natural resource may get exhausted to fulfill the daily food demands of a
rapidlyincreasingpopulation.
Inthecomingera, new technological interventions orcroppingsystems haveto
adapttomeetincreasingfooddemands,outofwhichintensivecultivationisoneof
them. The intensive cultivation will accelerate the nutrient depletion rate from the
soil,leadingtodepletionofnativefertilitystatus,whichwillemergeindeficiencyor
lack of soil organic carbon. As in many countries, the shortage of macro- or
micronutrients occurs in soil up to a threat level, more attention should be paid to
managing soil fertility and recycling the soil wastes generated in urban areas to
overcomethisproblem.
In today’s era, sewage sludge may be a source of fertilizers that could improve
soilfertilityandproductivityduetoanarrayofnutrientsandorganicmatter.Still,the
presenceofheavymetalsinsewagesludgeisamatterofconcern.Inagriculture,its
properutilizationmakesitsuitabletofulfillthenutritionalrequirementforplantsand
the best option to manage the waste generated through various anthropogenic
activities.
Thisbookenclosesthepossiblecurrentknowledgeandglobalscenarioofsewage

analyticalmethods,bioleachingapproach,beneficialmicrobesforsustainabletreat-
ment of sewage sludge, biological and thermo-chemical treatment technologies,
nutrient recovery technologies, biostabilization, health risk assessment, detoxifica-
tion, socioeconomic aspects, sustainable use in restoring soil fertility, municipal

ogy, anatomy, the ultrastructure of cellular and subcel-
lular organelles, cytomorphometric modifications, and
DNA damage. He has comprehensively detailed the
state of research in environmental science in regard to
