Bioremediation and Phytoremediation : Chlorinated & Recalcitrant Compounds (C1-4)

Bioremediation and phytoremediation have progressed over the past decade from promising ideas to practical remediation approaches, especially with regard to the treatment of hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. Sites contaminated with chlorinated and recalcitrant compounds have proven more resistant to these approaches, but exciting progress is being made both in the laboratory and in the field. Bioremediation and Phytoremediation: Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds brings together the latest breakthrough thinking and results in bioremediation, with chapters on cometabolic processes, aerobic and anaerobic mechanisms, biological reductive dechlorination processes, bioaugmentation, biomonitoring, and phytoremediation of recalcitrant organic compounds.
