"This unique, single-source reference offers a thorough treatment of the remediation of soils contaminated by hazardous wastes and the scientific and engineering issues that must be addressed in creating practical solutions for their reclamation."
". . .this book is a comprehensive and worthwhile addition to the soil remediation literature, especially with respect to bioremediation. It should make a useful contribution to the libraries of researchers and practitioners alike. "---Institution of Chemical Engineers Transactions". . .Anyone interested in research or managing bioremediation projects will find this book extremely helpful and one that will remain within easy reach on the desktop. . .I would also highly recommend it as a text book for a graduate-level course on soil remediation.
