Phytoremediation - the use of plants, grasses and trees to remove, degrade or sequester hazardous contaminants from the environment - is a rapidly growing sector of the site remediation industry. This technology is potentially applicable to a variety of contaminants, including heavy metals, radionuclides, inorganic compounds and organic compounds, and can be used on soils, groundwater and wastewater.The International Journal of Phytoremediation - CRC's international, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary quarterly -keeps you abreast of all the latest innovations in this swiftly developing field.Turn to The International Journal of Phytoremediation to learn:o who is using phytoremediation, where and how they are using it, and with what resultso how to master phytoremediation and make it a realistic solution with which you can save time, cut costs, and meet deadlineso how to document the usefulness of various phytoremediation approaches in the lab and restricted field tests, and build partnerships with environmental regulatorso how to identify plants with the greatest ability to degrade organic contaminants in soil, sediment, sludge, groundwater, and industrial wastewatero and how to manage the physical effects of phytoremediation, such as the volatilization which occurs as plants take up water containing organic contaminants and release the contaminants into the air through plant leaves.Each quarterly, peer-reviewed edition of The International Journal of Phytoremediation delivers the very latest and best thinking on this attractive remediation alternative.The Most comprehensive coverage of phytoremediation to be found anywhereIf it involves phytoremediation, the International Journal of Phytoremediation has it covered. Here you'll find peer-reviewed case studies, product and patent information, and reports on basic lab research, bench-scale testing, and pilot- and full-scale applications related to: o phytoremediation of diesel-contaminated soil o the use of trees for hydraulic control of groundwater plumes o vegetative caps for containment of landfill leachate o constructed wetlands (Reed Beds) o the various plants used in phytoremediation, including natural metal hyperaccumulators, stimulators of rhizosphere biodegradation, halophytic plants, wetland species, commodity crops and other plants.
