Sustainable Management of Environmental Pollutants through Phytoremediation
Traditional remedial technologies can be cost-prohibitive and sometimes contribute to environmental contamination themselves. In order to better manage the issues of global pollution, phytoremediation, a plant-based cleanup method, has gained attention as an efficient, affordable, and environmentally-sustainable alternative to traditional remedial technologies for the cleanup of a variety of hazardous pollutants. The demand for advanced technologies having potential to sustainably manage waste and pollutants in the environment will help to continue the quest for more novel treatment methods. Sustainable Management of Environmental Pollutants through Phytoremediation discusses all the aspects of sustainable environmental management through phytoremediation making it a valuable resource for both academics and researchers in developing and developed countries.
- Examines technology advancements made towards the recycling and management of waste.
- Designed in a way to cover scientific principles, modelling and methods, designs and reference data.
- Discusses the utilization of waste for renewable energy for economic growth and further social benefits.
