Bioremediation using weeds (Hardcover)

< div="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">In this monograph, the core elements of multidisciplinary bioremediation practices are addressed and environmental pollutants which can be effectively remediated using weeds is focused upon. Weeds plants can easily grow in waste dumping sites with their rapidly colonizing ability. The contents include recent results in bioremediation and focuses on the current trend of introduction of potentials of weeds in bioremediation practice. This volume will be a useful guide for researchers, academics and scientists.
