Phytoremediation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Urban Atmospheric Deposition Using Bio-retention Systems
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous compounds in urban environment and pose a great concern in environmental pollution due to their carcinogenicity. The inefficient fuel combustion is the major cause for the emission of PAHs in urban at

Preface
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever” Mahatma Gandhi
Volume 4 of this 5 volume series adds various studies on phytoremediation of organic contaminants from terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In this volume, some examples on applications of phytoremediation in wastewater engineering technology have been provided. Various studies on natural and constructed wetlands for phytoremediation have also been included in this volume. The importance of phytoremediation in reclamation and restoration of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems has been described. Information on uptake, tolerance mechanisms and the role of grasses in phytoremediation of various organic contaminants has also been provided. Plant microbe interactions, bio-ret
