Features: Conventional "three-waste" treatment technologies have made significant contributions to reducing pollutant emissions. However, air, water, and soil pollution remain severe, requiring more economical decentralized treatment technologies and on-site remediation techniques. Compared to other engineering measures, bioremediation technology offers numerous advantages such as low cost, on-site processing, and minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment, making it a focal point of research both domestically and internationally. For this reason, this book provides a review and summary of the research progress in bioremediation technology. The book is divided into seven chapters. First, it briefly introduces related environmental standards, pollution assessment, and "three-waste" treatment. Next, it elaborates on the principles, methods, and classification of bioremediation. Then, it comprehensively discusses the application of plants, microorganisms, and integrated technologies in the remediation of water, soil, and air pollution, enabling readers to compare and select appropriate technologies based on their needs. Finally, it explores the issues requiring further research and the industrialization prospects of this technology. This book can serve as a reference for researchers, teachers, administrative personnel, and engineering professionals in the fields of environmental protection, resource management, and biotechnology.
