Phytoremediation and Biofortification: Two Sides of One Coin
by Yin, Xuebin
Phytoremediation consists in the use of plants and their associated microbes for environmental cleanup. Over the past 10 years, this treatment has gained recognition as a cost-effective, non-invasive, alternative or complimentary technology to engineering-based remediation methods. In this volume, Dr. Yin reviews Phytoremediation technologies such as pollutant stabilization, extraction, degradation, or volatilization, together with their applicability to various inorganic (zinc and selenium) an…

Summary
Phytoremediation consists in the use of plants and their associated microbes for environmental cleanup. Over the past 10 years, this treatment has gained recognition as a cost-effective, non-invasive, alternative or complimentary technology to engineering-based remediation methods. In this volume, Dr. Yin reviews Phytoremediation technologies such as pollutant stabilization, extraction, degradation, or volatilization, together with their applicability to various inorganic (zinc and selenium) and organic (PAHs and oil) pollutants and to most suitable plant species. As the enhancement of the eff.
