Phytoremediation Management of Environmental Contaminants, Volume 1

This text details the plant-assisted remediation  method, “phytoremediation”, which involves the interaction of plant roots and associated rhizospheric microorganisms for the remediation of soil and water contaminated with high levels of metals, pesticides, solvents, radionuclides, explosives, nutri...
