Overview

Soil Bioventing is one of the most popular modern techniques for removing contaminants from soil. This book explains in practical terms how to carry out a bioventing program. It is an interdisciplinary treatment of the subject, covering everything from basic physical and chemical properties of soils to site evaluation, project design, and post-bioventing monitoring.
