Engineered Approaches for In Situ Bioremediation of Chlorinated Solvent Contamination - 5(2)

Throughout the world there are sites contaminated with chlorinated compounds such as perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, tetrachloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, pentachlorophenol, chlorinated benzenes, and various pesticide/herbicide compounds. Not only do these compounds carry health risks, but they also are challenging and often expensive to treat in the field. However, progress is being made, and this volume brings together the most up-to- date laboratory findings and the latest full-scale results from bioremediation efforts at actual field sites. Engineering approaches discussed included biobarriers, cometabolism, bioaugmentation, in situ oxidation, Fenton's Reagent, in situ bioremediation, and more. This book one of eight-volumes from the Fifth International In Situ and On-Site Bioremediation Symposium held in San Diego, April 1999.
