Overview

With oil spills occurring worldwide, much media and practical attention has been given to the maturing field of hydrocarbon bioremediation, particularly with application to marine spills. Hydrocarbon contamination of soil and groundwater, although less visible, is even more widespread and has provided the background for the studies presented in this book, in addition to those devoted to shoreline spills. Chapters address a wide variety of theory and practice.
