Dehalogenation Microbial Processes and Environmental Applications

Dehalogenation Microbial Processes and Environmental Applications / edited by Max M. Häggblom, Ingeborg D. Bossert.

Halogenated organic compounds constitute one of the largest groups of environmental chemicals. The industrial production of new halogenated organic compounds has increased throughout the last century peaking in the 1960s, and continuing in widespread use today. Organohalides are integral to a variet...
