The release of water and air pollutants into the environment is an increasing problem for our industrialized society within Canada and globally.  The proposed research deals with understanding and further developing processes that involve the application of microorganisms for the treatment of wastewaters and air emissions.  Such biologically based processes are frequently the most environmentally friendly and energy efficient methods for degrading a large number of pollutants within a broad range of waste materials (water, air, soil).  This research will enhance our understanding of how these processes are affected by disturbance and how to maximize their performance for a wide range of pollutants.  The project will involve 3 Ph.D.'s, 1 M.A.Sc., 5 undergraduate summer students, 10 undergraduate thesis students and 3 postdoctoral fellows who will receive training in bioprocess engineering and the application of biotechnology to developing environmentally sustainable processes.

水和空气污染物排放到环境中是加拿大和全球工业化社会日益严重的问题。拟议的研究涉及了解和进一步发展涉及应用微生物处理废水和空气排放的过程。这种以生物为基础的过程往往是在广泛的废物（水、空气、土壤）中降解大量污染物的最环保和最节能的方法。这项研究将增强我们对这些过程如何受到干扰的影响以及如何最大限度地提高它们对各种污染物的性能的理解。该项目将涉及3名博士，1名硕士。5名本科生暑期生，10名本科生论文生和3名博士后，将接受生物工艺工程和应用生物技术开发环境可持续工艺的培训。
