In the continuing fight against organic environmental xenobiotics,
the initial success attributed to bioremediation has paled, in part
due to the low availability of xenobiotics entrapped within a soil
or sediment matrix. This has generated a very significant wave of
interest in the bioavailability issue. However, much experimental
evidence is puzzling or contradictory, mechanistic theories are
embryonic, and implications for the practice of bioremediation or
concerning the natural fate of xenobiotics are still tentative. The
debate in Europe and the USA is vigorous. Eastern Europe, following
the liberalisation of the economy and political life, is evolving
in a similar direction. In many cases, however, limited access to
literature sources, severe language barriers, and the lack of a
strong pluridisciplinary tradition are hampering the adoption of
state of the art techniques. Originally intended to allow
scientists in East European countries to become acquainted with the
key aspects of the bioavailability debate that is unfolding in the
scientific literature in the West, and with its implications for
bioremediation efforts, the present book presents a very complete
coverage of the theoretical and practical aspects of the (limited)
bioavailability of organic xenobiotics in the environment.
