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. Biopesticides are also explained
as an alternative to conventional pesticides. Other volumes in the
4-volume set: * Volume 2: Microbial Approaches and Recent Trends *
Volume 3: Inventive Techniques, Research Methods, and Case Studies
* 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.
