This authoritative text addresses the latest in bioremediation technologies for three difficult-to-treat contaminant groups: chlorinated solvents, PCBs, and PAHs - one of the most complex and expensive areas of applied remediation engineering. Bioremediation of Recalcitrant Compounds assesses innovative R&D projects developed for each contaminant group by a specially funded consortium of experts.... Read more

Biography

Jeffrey Talley

"…contributes newly available information and actual experimental work on the biotreatment of recalcitrant contaminants in the environment…authors are world class authorities in their respective fields."
- C.H. Ward, Rice University

"This book will appeal to a broad range of users as each chapter begins with an explanation of the basics before going into greater technical detail for the more applied users, and would be suitable for the undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional level."
