Bioremediation is a process applied to restore contaminated sites
using biological tools. The success or failure of this process
usually depends on an understanding of the biotechnological process
as
well as the strengths and weaknesses of the ecotoxicological tools used for its evaluation.
This useful book offers a unique treatment of the subject, linking soil ecotoxicity tests, bioremediation and environmental risk assessment. It also, describes the inter-relationships between the laboratory and field ecotoxicologist, the biotechnology consultant and different international environmental regulatory agencies and explains how they seek to achieve a successful evaluation of contaminated site restoration.
