| Summary: | Volume 1 includes articles on the natural attenuation and biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. The volume includes case studies of a number of specific applications as well as review articles summarizing the performance of a variety of remediation systems. Articles on air sparging and related technologies, bioventing applications and extensions, bioslurping, and biopiles examine the performance of these technologies and their application under a variety of environmental conditions to remediate hydrocarbons and free-product contamination. Also addressed are the challenges presented to bioremediation technologies by unusual or extreme environmental conditions, such as subarctic temperatures and recalcitrant organics, and the potential for extensions and integration of these technologies to clean up hydrocarbon-contaminated soil and groundwater.
