Natural and Enhanced Remediation Systems

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Building on the success of bioremediation and phytoremediation technologies, this book explores remediation techniques that use the beneficial effects provided by "Mother Nature." Written by a leader in the industry, it covers monitored natural attenuation, natural bioremediation, enhanced natural degradation, in situ reactive zones, phytoremediation, and engineered phyto-covers. Natural and Enhanced Remediation Systems also provides background information, such as the evolution of remediation technologies over the last two decades, positive changes in the regulatory environment, and increased acceptance of risk assessment.
