Bioremediation and Phytoremediation Technologies in Sustainable Soil Management Volume 1: Fundamental Aspects and Contaminated Sites

Bioremediation and Phytoremediation Technologies in Sustainable Soil Management Volume 1: Fundamental Aspects and Contaminated Sites

This 4-volume set focuses on the use of microbial bioremediation and phytoremediation to clean up pollutants in soil such as pesticides petroleum hydrocarbons metals and chlorinated solvents which reduce the soil's fertility and renders it unfit for plant growth. Volume 1: Fundamental Aspects and Contaminated Sites begins with an overview of phytoremediation and the role of environmental factors. It goes on to introduce soil assessment techniques and offers methods of remediation designed to combat soil and agricultural degradation. It discusses soils contaminated by heavy metals; microbial and phytoremediation-based removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from coal crude oil and gasoline; microbial bioremediation and amelioration of pesticide-contaminated soils; phytoremediation techniques for biomedical waste contaminated sites; as well as biomediation processes for human waste sites.
