Bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in artificially contaminated soil / Nor Amani Filzah Mohd Kamil

Land used for industrial facilities or for waste disposal can be contaminated. Redevelopment of contaminated land often requires unacceptable risks are assessed and managed so that the site becomes suitable for its new use. One of the major criteria to be satisfied before such land can be reused is...
