Synopsis

Bringing together the work of 62 distinguished scientists, this timely book offers a comprehensive view of the remediation of contaminated land. A one-stop resource, it covers historical and emerging contaminants, the issues of bioavailability of chemicals and associated human health risks, and the latest bio- and phytoremediation technologies. The book also contains numerous case studies-many of them drawn from the Asia-Pacific region-that look at the effects of rapid industrialization. It provides readers with a highly focused reference on important topics, including e-waste recycling, flame retardants, and arsenic and heavy metal contamination.
