New York: Nova Science Publishers, 2011. xxiii, 815 p. : ill. ; 27 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index Phytoremediation is an environmentally sustainable and cost-effective approach that utilizes plants and their associated microorganisms to remediate contaminated soils, water, and air. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, mechanisms, and practical applications of phytoremediation technologies. It covers key processes such as phytoextraction, phytostabilization, phytodegradation, rhizofiltration, and phytovolatilization, highlighting the roles of various plant species in the removal, stabilization, or transformation of pollutants including heavy metals, organic compounds, and emerging contaminants. The handbook also explores advances in genetic engineering, plant-microbe interactions, and the use of biotechnology to enhance phytoremediation efficiency. Case studies from diverse ecological and geographical contexts are presented to illustrate real-world applications and challenges. In addition, it addresses critical factors affecting phytoremediation performance, such as soil properties, contaminant bioavailability, climate conditions, and ecological risks. Intended for researchers, environmental scientists, policymakers, and practitioners, this resource emphasizes the integration of phytoremediation into sustainable land management and environmental restoration strategies. It also discusses limitations, regulatory considerations, and future directions for improving the scalability and effectiveness of plant-based remediation technologies. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/160 Golubev, Ivan A.
