The use of effective microorganisms (EM) for pretreatment of wet market wastewater

Nature based solutions have received considerable attention for water and land quality restoration and potential for sustainability management. The use of naturally occurring permaculture of non-pathogenic microorganisms known as Effective Microorganisms (EM) have gain reputation in the past few yea...

The use of naturally occurring permaculture of non-pathogenic microorganisms known as Effective Microorganisms (EM) have gain reputation in the past few years in the South East Asia due to its environmental friendly nature.
