Phytoremediation Technology for the Removal of Heavy Metals and Other Contaminants from Soil and Water [EPUB ebook] 

Phytoremediation Technology for the Removal of Heavy Metals and Other Contaminants from Soil and Water focuses on the exploitation of plants and their associated microbes as a tool to degrade/detoxify/stabilize toxic and hazardous contaminants and restore the contaminated site. The book introduces various phytoremediation technologies using an array of plants and their associated microbes for environmental cleanup and sustainable development. The book mainly focuses on the remediation of toxic and hazardous environmental contaminants, their phytoremediation mechanisms and strategies, advances and challenges in the current scenario. This book is intended to appeal to students, researchers, scientists and a wide range of professionals responsible for regulating, monitoring and designing industrial waste facilities. Engineering consultants, industrial waste managers and purchasing department managers, government regulators, and graduate students will also find this book invaluable. – Provides natural and eco-friendly solutions to deal with the problem of pollution- Details underlying mechanisms of phytoremediation of organic and inorganic contaminants with enzymatic roles- Describes numerous, successful field studies on the application of phytoremediation for eco-restoration of contaminated sites- Presents recent advances and challenges in phytoremediation research and applications for sustainable development- Provides authoritative contributions on the diverse aspects of phytoremediation by world leading experts
