Phytoremediation and environmental factors 3. Role of phytoremediation to clean up heavy metal polluted soils 4. Phytoremediation technique for PAH polluted soils: applications challenges and opportunities 5. Assessment and overview of petroleum hydrocarbon bioremediation 6. Phytoremediation of soils contaminated by heavy metals (mercury cadmium and lead) 7. Microbial and phytoremediation based removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil environments 8. Microbial bioremediation and amelioration of pesticide contaminated soils 9. Bioremediation of petroleum contaminated soils 10. Phytoremediation of biomedical waste contaminated sites 11. Bioremediation of waste dumping sites. Volume 4: Degradation of Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls addresses pesticide degradation PCBs degradation and genetic interventions. It begins by describing environment pesticide degradation mechanisms and sustainability microbes and microbial enzymes plant microbe interactions organophosphorus degradations and endosulfan degradation. It then goes on to discuss PCBs and degradation cypermethrin degradation by Phanerochaete chrysosporium carvone and surfactants for degradation of PCBs. The book also advocates for genetic systems for degradation of PCBs and pesticides with discussion of the different advantages and disadvantages for each strategy and the various techniques
