Selected DefinitionsBio-Related Technology

• Bio-Related Technology is a broad field which
  includes seven major areas bioengineering,
  health care, cultivation of plants and animals,
  fuel and chemical production, waste management
  and treatment, materials applications, and
  regulation and safety. It implies the practical
  application of mechanical devices, products,
  substances, or organisms to improve health or
  contribute to the harmony between humans and
  their environment. (Savage)
