Advances in Microbe-assisted Phytoremediation of Polluted Sites
provides a comprehensive overview of the use of phytoremediation to
decontaminate polluted land through microbial enhanced
phytoremediation, including the use of plants with respect to
ecological and environmental science. The book discusses the
potential of microbial-assisted phytoremediation of the
contaminant, including heavy metals, pesticides, polyaromatic
hydrocarbons, etc., with case studies as examples. Key subjects
covered include plant-microbe interaction in contaminated
ecosystems, microbe-augmented phytoremediation for improved
ecosystem services, and success stories on microbe-assisted
phytoremediation of contaminated sites. With increasing demand for
land-space for social, industrial and agricultural use, the
theoretical millions of hectares of contaminated sites around the
world are a resource sorely needed that currently cannot be
utilized. Decontamination of this land using ecologically-sound
methods is paramount not only to land use, but in the prevention of
toxic substances deteriorating local ecosystems by reducing
productivity and contaminating the food chain - which can
eventually aggregate in food chains and pose the potential risk of
non-curable diseases to humans such as cancer.
