Bioremediation : Principles and Applications [ electronic resource ] / edited by Ronald L. Crawford and Don L. Crawford.
Contributor(s): Crawford, Ronald L [editor] | Crawford, Don L [joint editor].
Material type:
TextSeries: Biotechnology Research (6). Publisher: Cambridge: Cambridge University Press , 2009ISBN: 9780511608414 ( e-book ).Subject(s): Plant Sciences | Biotechnology | Microbiology and Immunology | , Life SciencesGenre/Form: Electronic booksDDC classification: 628.52 Online resources: https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511608414 View to click Summary: Increased industrial and agricultural activity this century has led to vast quantities of the earth's soil and groundwater resources becoming contaminated with hazardous chemicals. Bioremediation provides a technology based on the use of living organisms, usually bacteria and fungi, to remove pollutants from soil and water, preferably in situ. 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 should be employed in the field. This book examines these issues for many of the most serious and common environmental contaminants, resulting in a volume which presents the most recent position on the application of bioremediation to the cleanup of polluted soil and water
