Industrial and agricultural activity throughout this century has led to considerable contamination of soil and groundwater resources by hazardous chemicals. The technique of bioremediation uses living organismsusually bacteria and fungito remove pollutants from soil and water with minimal disturbance to these environments. This approach, which is potentially more cost-effective than traditional techniques such as incineration of soils and carbon filtration of water, requires an understanding of how organisms transform chemicals, how they survive in polluted environments, and how they can be used in the field. This book examines these issues for many of the most serious and common environmental contaminants, presenting the most recent position on the application of bioremediation to polluted soil and water.
? Comprehensive - all important classes of organic pollutant covered in a single volume ? Practical emphasis - illustrates how to clean up various pollutants by biological means ? Authoritative - contributions from all the leading experts in this area combine to make a unique, multidisciplinary information resource ? For academics in microbiology and environmental science, also industrial and government scientists in pollution control
