62 Environmental Biotechnology
and developments both within the field and from other disciplines can and do
filter in and alter the state of the possible. Thus, while the bulk of the rest of this
book addresses the sorts of biotechnological applications routinely applied to deal
with today’s environmental problems, it must be borne in mind that some of the
issues described in this section may well assume greater relevance in the future
and this is a point which will, at least in part, be reviewed in the final chapter.
