Title: (Optional) Investigate the purpose and design of biological treatment systems.
Course: Biotechnology Foundations in Agricultural and Environmental Science (18308-II) > Section: Exploring Biotechnology in Environmental Science

Investigation should include

- the function of various types of biological treatment systems (e.g., solid wastes, hazardous wastes, wastewater treatment, soil reclamation, treatment of airborne contaminants)
- design considerations in the application of each.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the key characteristics of biological treatment systems?
- How does the method of biological treatment affect the design of the system?
- What biotechnology techniques are used in biological treatment systems?
- In what ways can biological treatment systems benefit the environment?
- How has the lack of biological treatment systems in underdeveloped countries affected the health of the population and the environment?
