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. The volumes cover the many diverse eco-friendly
microbial bioremediation and phytoremediation techniques for
sustainable soil management. Bioremediation and Phytoremediation
Technologies in Sustainable Soil Management: Volume 1: Fundamental
Aspects and Contaminated Sites begins with an overview of
phytoremediation and phytotechnologies 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. Attention is given to specific
types of sites and soil pollution, such as 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
in the book as an alternative to conventional pesticides as well as
the possibilities for the improvement of modern bio-pesticides.
Volume 2: Microbial Approaches and Recent Trends focuses on new and
emerging techniques and approaches to address soil pollution. These
include the use of rhizobacteria, archae, cyanobacteria, and
microalgae as biofertilizers and for soil bioremediation efforts.
New technologies for assessment of soil bioremediation are explored
also. The chapters provides in-depth coverage of the mechanisms,
advantages, and disadvantages of the technologies used and
highlights the use of different microbial enzymes that are used in
the process of bioremediation and phytoremediation to clean up
different pollutants without causing damage to the natural
environment. Volume 3: Inventive Techniques, Research Methods, and
Case Studies is organized in three themes: plants in green
remediation, tools and techniques in bioremediation and
phytoremediation, and special sites and their remediation
techniques. Innovative new techniques that advance the use of
molecular biological approaches, nanotechnology, immobilization,
vermicomposting and genetic modification developments are
investigated to take advantage of these possibilities. Volume 4:
Degradation of Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls addresses
pesticide degradation, PCBs degradation, and genetic interventions.
It begins by describing environment pesticide degradation,
mechanisms and sustainability, microbes and microbial enzymes,
plant microbe interactions, organophosphorus degradations and
endosulfan degradation. It then goes on to discuss PCBs and
degradation, cypermethrin, degradation by Phanerochaete
chrysosporium, carvone and surfactants for degradation of PCBs. The
book also advocates for genetic systems for degradation of PCBs and
pesticides, with discussion of the different advantages and
disadvantages for each strategy and the various techniques.
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.
