Opis

As a safe, cost-effective method of relief from toxic contamination, phytoremediation is an appealing alternative to current methods of soil recovery, and as such has received a lot of attention in recent years. The successful implementation of phytoremediation depends on identifying plant material that is well adapted to specific toxic sites. Phytoremediation of Contaminated Soil and Water explores, in detail, this cutting-edge technology. The most thorough literary examination of the subject available, it explains the uses of specific plants for specific contaminants, including mercury, selenium, and zinc.
