Phytoremediation (eBook, PDF)

Methods and Reviews
Redaktion: Willey, Neil

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents the most innovative recent methodological developments in phytoremediation research, and outlines a variety of the contexts in which phytoremediation has begun to be applied. A significant portion is devoted to groundbreaking methods for the production of plants that are able to degrade, take up, or tolerate the effects of pollutants. The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to the examination of principles and practices of phytoremediation.
