Synopsis

With rising populations and burgeoning development across the globe, groundwater and soils are becoming contaminated or depleted at an alarming rate. However, this collection of 12 articles from a variety of international academics, practitioners and regulators provides some hope for recovery. The contributors focus on applications and real-world examples in their descriptions of fundamental processes as well as in their coverage of reclamation technologies such as physical treatment, including air sparging and soil heating, chemical treatment, including ion exchange, redox and precipitation, chemical reactive barriers, biodegradation, bioremediation with bacteria and enzymes, including biostimulation and biological fixation, bioremediation with fungi, phytomediation, and metal removal. The collection concludes with commentary on long-term monitoring, including information on sampling methods. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
