Applied bioremediation and phytoremediation
1 online resource (xix, 281 pages) : illustrations.
"The production of a vast array of chemicals, especially petroleum compounds during the last century, has caused a serious deterioration in environment quality. In this context, one major threat is posed by the continually expanding areas of contaminated soils and sediments. For this volume, a number of experts from universities, government laboratories and industry, have contributed chapters on innovative methods in bioremediation and phytoremediation."--Jacket.
