§16§This text details the plant-assisted remediation method, "phytoremediation", which involves the interaction of plant roots and associated rhizospheric microorganisms for the remediation of soil contaminated with high levels of metals, metalloids, fuel and oil hydrocarbons, nano particles, pesticides, solvents, organic compounds and various other contaminants. Many chapters highlight and compare the efficiency and economic advantages of phytoremediation and nano-phytoremediation to currently practiced soil and water treatment practices. § Volume 6 of Phytoremediation: Management of Environmental Contaminants continues the series. Taken together, the six volumes provide a broad-based global synopsis of the current applications of phytoremediation using plants and the microbial communities associated with their roots to decontaminate terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. §04§Preface.- Phytoremediation as green infrastructure.- Overview of phytoremediation applications.- Phyto and bioremedition strategies for soils and wastewaters.- Sorption release processes in soil.- Assisted phytoremediation technology with soil amendments.- Phytoextraction of metals from contaminated soils.- Phytoremediation of Boron-Contaminated Soils.- Phytoremediation and necrophytoremediation of petrogenic hydrocarbon-contaminated soils.- Phytoremediation of contaminated water.- PGPR assisted phytoremediation of heavy metal from municipal waste water.- Constructed Wetland technology to treat water contaminated with fuel and oil hydrocarbons.- Phytoremediation of waste and wastewater.- Fungi in the bioremediation of contaminants in water.- Phytoremediation of chromium polluted soil using plants in conjunction with microbes.- Microorganisms in the phytoremediation applications.- Phytoremediation using microbial assemblages in soil and water.- Microbe-assisted enhancement ofphyto §04§remediation.- Phytoremediation of organic pollutants using aquatic and terrestrial plant species.- Phytoremediation of landfill leachates.- Nicotine contamination of agricultural crops.- Salix spp. in the phytoextraction of heavy metals.- Brassica spp. in the phytoextraction of heavy metals.- Dendroremediation.- The possibility of use of oilseeds plants and grasses for phytoremediation.- Woody species in phytoremediation applications for contaminated soils.- Nano-phytoremediation.- Impact of engineered nanoparticles on the phytoextraction efficiency of environmental pollutants.- Application of nano-phytoremediation technology for the remediation of soil polluted with pesticide residues and heavy metals.- Enhanced Phytoremediation of Contaminated Soil Using Engineered Nano-Materials.- Nano-phytoremediation applications for contaminated waters.- Index. §04§ G.
