Comprehensive; Science Based; Up to Date Handbook for Anyone Interested in Environmental Toxins and How We Can Remediate ThemBy hilarykThis book is essential to every designer; engineer; public works manager or interested other in understanding the possibilities of true phytoremediation. Rather than depending on plants that simply hold pollutants; then die and become toxic waste; Kennan and Kirkwood have produced this handbook that gives the most recent; science based information available. Not all toxins have a magic bullet to remediate; but this book covers what will and wont work and brings you up to speed in language accessible to anyone who speaks or reads English. It should be published in every language on the globe as the pollutants they write about can be found around the globe. This is essential reading for anyone involved in or concerned about mitigating the damage these toxins create and the dynamic environmental systems they affect.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
