Phytormediation is an exciting new method for controlling and cleaning up hazardous wastes using green plants. This book is the first to compile the state of the science and engineering arts in this rapidly advancing field. Phytormediation: - Approaches the subject from the perspectives of biochemistry, genetics, toxicology, and pathway analysis.
- Is written by two of the premier experts in the field.

Phytoremediation is evolving into a cost-effective means of managing wastes, especially excess petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, explosives, organic matter, and nutrients.
