This text focuses on strategies for phytoremediation of agrochemicals, metals, and industrial organic chemicals. It discusses recent developments in bioremediation using plant materials and explores the metabolism of contaminants by plants.

Whole plant systems can be a powerful tool in remediating water and soil contaminants. This book focuses on successful strategies for phytoremediation of agrochemicals, metals, and industrial organic chemicals. It also discusses recent developments in bioremediation using plant materials and explores the metabolism of contaminants by plants.
