In Situ Aeration and Aerobic Remediation
The symposium included 600 presentations in 50 sessions on bioremediation and supporting technologies used for a wide range of contaminants already in, or poised to invade, soil, groundwater, and sediment. Three hundred and fifty-two papers were selected and organized into ten volumes. Volume ten's articles cover various aerobic approaches to remediating hydrocarbon contamination caused by crude oil or diesel spills, gas well activity, and storage tank leakage. Remediations discussed include biosparging, soil vapor extraction, bioslurpers, VOC stripping, and injection of oxygen- release compounds. Articles average eight pages, and contain abstracts and references. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
Processes, Assessment and Remediation of Contaminated Sediments
The purpose of this book is to help engineers and scientists better understand contaminated sediment sites and identify and design remedial approaches that are more efficient and effective. Contaminated sediment management is a difficult and costly exercise that is rarely addressed with easily identified and implemented remedies. It is hoped that this book can help identify and implement management approaches that provide an optimal, if not entirely satisfactory, solution to sediment contaminant problems.
Bioremediation of Inorganic Compounds
The symposium included 600 presentations in 50 sessions on bioremediation and supporting technologies used for a wide range of contaminants already in, or poised to invade, soil, groundwater, and sediment. Three hundred and fifty-two papers were selected and organized into ten volumes. Volume nine's articles cover a variety of biological approaches for removal or sequestration of substances such as perchlorates, heavy metals, arsenic, nitrates, and acid mine drainage. Articles average eight pages, and contain abstracts and references. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.

Phytoremediation, Wetlands, and Sediments
The symposium included 600 presentations in 50 sessions on bioremediation and supporting technologies used for a wide range of contaminants already in, or poised to invade, soil, groundwater, and sediment. Three hundred and fifty-two papers were selected and organized into ten volumes. Volume five's articles address the use of trees and wetland flora to remediate sites contaminated with hydrocarbons, chlorinated compounds, TNT, heavy metals, and other substances. Articles average eight pages, and contain abstracts and references. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
Sediment Dredging at Superfund Megasites
Some of the nation's estuaries, lakes and other water bodies contain contaminated sediments that can adversely affect fish and wildlife and may then find their way into people's diets. Dredging is one of the few options available for attempting to clean up contaminated sediments, but it can uncover and re-suspend buried contaminants, creating additional exposures for wildlife and people. At the request of Congress, EPA asked the National Research Council (NRC) to evaluate dredging as a cleanup technique. The book finds that, based on a review of available evidence, dredging's ability to decrease environmental and health risks is still an open question. Analysis of pre-dredging and post-dredging at about 20 sites found a wide range of outcomes in terms of surface sediment concentrations of contaminants: some sites showed increases, some no change, and some decreases in concentrations. Evaluating the potential long-term benefits of dredging will require that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency step up monitoring activities before, during and after individual cleanups to determine whether it is working there and what combinations of techniques are most effective.
Natural Attenuation of Environmental Contaminants
The symposium included 600 presentations in 50 sessions on bioremediation and supporting technologies used for a wide range of contaminants already in, or poised to invade, soil, groundwater, and sediment. Three hundred and fifty-two papers were selected and organized into ten volumes. Volume two's articles address the use of natural attenuation to remediate sites with a variety of hydrocarbons and chlorinated compounds contaminating porous media and groundwater. Methods of encouraging naturally occurring microbial activity are discussed, along with sampling, assessment, and long-term monitoring techniques and devices. Articles average eight pages and contain abstracts and references. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
The First International Conference on Remediation of Contaminated Sediments, Venice, October 10-12, 2001: Remediation and beneficial reuse of contaminated sediments (S1-3)
Papers are concerned with approaches for treating and detoxifying sediments and for isolating and stabilizing contaminated sediments by capping or in disposal facilities. Authors describe their experiences with monitored natural attenuation of sediments and with a wide variety of treatment technologies (e.g., physical, chemical, thermal, electrokinetic, enhanced biodegradation, phytoremediation) to remediate sediments and wetlands. Several papers focus on options for beneficial reuse of sediments and on containment/immobilization approaches. Book jacket.
