Phytoremediation
has evolved into an important tool to improve the bioremediation
process since it is an innovative green technology that uses a wide
variety of plants to remediate radioactive metals and elements,
organics, and chemicals from soil, sediment, surface water, and
groundwater environmental pollutants. Together, bioremediation and
phytoremediation technologies provide an effective approach to
contaminant abatement.
Volume 3 of
the four-volume set identifies and draws a fresh image of existing
developments in theoretical and functional implementation systems from
recent scientific research studies that consider different facets of
bioremediation. It also discusses the latest technology and prospects of
new soil bioremediation technology and analyzes their domains, along
with their associated challenges and consequences.
Other volumes in the 4-volume set:
• Volume 1: Fundamental Aspects and Contaminated Sites
• Volume 2: Microbial Approaches and Recent Trends
• Volume 4: Degradation of Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls
Together,
these four volumes provide in-depth coverage of the mechanisms,
advantages, and disadvantages of the bioremediation and phytoremediation
technologies for safe and sustainable soil management. The diverse
topics help to arm biologists, agricultural engineers, environmental and
soil scientists and chemists with the information and tools they need
to address soil toxins that are a dangerous risk to plants, wildlife,
humans and, of course, the soil itself.
