Remediation of Soil through Bioremediation

Remediation of Soil through Bioremediation offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the science and practice of restoring contaminated soils using biological methods. As concerns over soil degradation and pollution grow globally, this textbook provides timely insights into how bioremediation can serve as a sustainable and effective solution.

Starting with the fundamentals of soil composition and contamination, the book walks readers through various pollutants—ranging from industrial waste to agricultural runoff—and their impacts on soil health and human exposure. It then introduces key bioremediation strategies, both in situ and ex situ, highlighting the critical roles of microorganisms, surfactants, and advanced techniques like cyclodextrin applications.

With a clear structure and rich illustrations, this book supports learning through real-world case studies, chapter summaries, and practical question banks. It also examines the broader environmental implications of soil quality, conservation practices, and the potential of green technologies.

Ideal for students, researchers, and environmental professionals, this resource bridges foundational knowledge with applied solutions. It inspires readers to view soil not just as a medium for growth, but as a living system vital to ecological resilience and environmental restoration.
