Bioremediation and Phytoremediation
Apple Academic Press Inc. (Verlag)
978-1-77491-384-0 (ISBN)
Human health and wildlife are both affected by environmental contaminants. Plant-based bioremediation offers a cost-effective, non-intrusive, and natural alternative to chemical contamination by using plants and associated soil microbes to help reduce contaminants and their effects on the environment. This new volume provides an informative overview of the emerging issues related to bioremediation and phytoremediation.
The author explains key concepts and aspects that underlie environmental awareness that have resulted in regulatory measures aimed at rectifying past mistakes and at protecting the environment from future contamination and exploitation. The book goes on to discuss alternative technologies for the removal of pollutants from the environment, restoring contaminated sites, and preventing further pollution using bioremediation. The multitude of bioremediation and phytoremediation technologies and methods covered include biochar for remediation, cyanobacteria, biosensors and bioindicators, rhizoremediation, and plant tissue culture studies.
