Bioaugmentation, Biobarriers, and Biogeochemistry: The Sixth International in Situ and On-Site Bioremediation Symposium : San Diego, California, June 4-7, 2001 - Tapa dura

The symposium included 600 presentations in 50 sessions on bioremediation and supporting technologies used for a wide range of contaminants already in, or poised to invade, soil, groundwater, and sediment. Three hundred and fifty-two papers were selected and organized into ten volumes. Volume eight's articles cover laboratory and field investigations into techniques for enhancing biological activity to promote remediation of sites contaminated with a variety of recalcitrant substances such as chlorinated compounds, pesticides, RDX, and MTBE. Barrier technologies (PRB and BPB) are also discussed. Articles average eight pages, and contain abstracts and references. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
