Rahman ED - Hiroshi Hasegawa Y1 - 2019-01-15 PY - 2019 T1 - Metal-Contaminated Soil Remediation: Phytoremediation, Chemical Leaching and Electrochemical Remediation N2 - The anthropogenic input of metals into the atmosphere is estimated to be one-to-three orders of magnitude higher than natural fluxes. Soil acts as the primary sink for anthropogenic metals among the environmental spheres. Most metals show indefinite persistence in the ecosphere due to resistance against microbial or chemical-assisted degradation. This edited book is an attempt to compile reviews and case studies from different researchers focusing on different aspects of soil contamination by metals and its subsequent remediation. The book's contents will be useful for researchers and strategists interested in the environmental aspects of soil contamination.
