Traditional reliance on chemical analysis to understand the
direction and extent of treatment in a bioremediation process has
been found to be inadequate. Whereas the goal of bioremediation is
toxicity reduction, few direct, reliable measures of this process
are as yet available. Another area of intense discussion is the
assessment of market forces contributing to the acceptability of
bioremediation. Finally, another important component is a series of
lectures and lively exchanges devoted to practical applications of
different bioremediation technologies. The range of subjects covers
a wide spectrum, encompassing emerging technologies as well as
actual, full-scale operations. Examples discussed include
landfarming, biopiling, composting, phytoremediation and
mycoremediation. Each technology is explored for its utility and
capability to provide desired treatment goals.
Advantages and limitations of each technology are discussed. The
concept of natural attenuation is also critically evaluated since
in some cases where time to remediation is not a significant
factor, it may be an alternative to active bioremediation
operations.
