Trang 2The need to synthesize, critically analyze, and put into perspective the ever-mountingbody of new information on phytoremediation in the soil and water environmentprovided the impetus for the development of this book It is a compilation of articlesprovided by speakers at a symposium entitled “Phytoremediation of Trace Elements
in Contaminated Soil and Water” that was held in June 1997 as part of the FourthInternational Conference on the Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements on the ClarkKerr campus of the University of California, Berkeley Also included in the bookare invited articles on special topics such as the phytoremediation of constructedwetlands and the role of microphytes
Twenty eminent scientists from around the world spoke at the symposium ontopics such as field demonstrations of phytoremediation in trace element cleanup;the role of hyperaccumulator plants in phytoextraction; the genetics, molecularbiology, physiology, and ecology of trace element hyperaccumulation and tolerance;phytovolatilization of mercury and selenium in phytoremediation; the role ofmicrobes; and the phytostabilization and immobilization of metals in contaminatedsoil We are especially indebted to Dr Jaco Vangronsveld who helped coordinatethe symposium and who was instrumental in developing the list of excellent speakersfrom Europe The papers represent the latest research in all of the major aspects ofphytoremediation of trace elements in contaminated soil and water
All of the articles in the book were peer reviewed We gratefully acknowledgethe following reviewers: Husein Ajwa, Robert Brooks, Carolee Bull, Stanley Dudka,Steve Grattan, Satish Gupta, Seongbin Hwang, Elizabeth Pilon-Smits, Mark deSouza, Lin Wu, Jaco Vangronsveld, and Adel Zayed We also would like to thankthe organizers of the conference and especially Drs I K Iskandar and Domy Adrianowho had the vision and foresight to develop the idea of having a special symposium
on phytoremediation
A substantial portion of the funds used to support travel and other expenses ofsymposium participants and to develop this book was provided by the KearneyFoundation of Soil Science The Foundation’s mission in the 1990s has been toresearch the reactions of toxic pollutants in soil systems We hope this book willbenefit government agencies charged with the cleanup of California’s soil and waterand for developing policy in this regard We also acknowledge the generous financialsupport from other agencies, including the International Lead Zinc Research Orga-nization, Inc., Chevron Research and Technology Company, Phytotech, Inc., and E

Trang 3Norman Terry is Professor of Environmental Plant Biology in the Department ofPlant and Microbial Biology, and Researcher in the Agricultural Experiment Station
at the University of California, Berkeley Terry received his Ph.D in Plant Physiology
at the University of Nottingham, England, and was awarded a NRC (Canada) doctoral Fellowship to carry out research on phloem translocation (Ottawa,1966–1968) He joined the Berkeley faculty in 1972 and currently teaches advancedundergraduate courses on plant physiology, biochemistry, and environmental plantbiology During his research career, Terry authored over 120 scientific articles Hisearly research was on the regulation of photosynthesis in vivo, the environmentalcontrol of plant growth, mineral nutrition, and salinity
Post-In 1990, Terry’s research interests shifted to phytoremediation He developed aresearch program that is a multidisciplinary blend of environmental engineering,microbiology, plant biochemistry, and molecular biology This approach is unique
in phytoremediation research and has facilitated several innovative and creativesolutions to environmental problems He pioneered the use of constructed wetlandsfor the cleanup of selenium and other toxic elements from oil refinery effluents andagricultural irrigation drainage water Using cutting edge molecular approaches,Terry developed transgenic plants with superior capacities for the phytoremediation
of selenium and heavy metals (e.g., cadmium) And, by using sophisticated highenergy x-ray absorption spectroscopy to monitor element speciation changes, hesuccessfully demonstrated that plants have the ability to detoxify metals (e.g., chro-mium)
Gary S Bañuelos is a plant/soil scientist at the USDA/ARS’ Water ManagementResearch Laboratory in Fresno, CA and an adjunct professor at California StateUniversity Focusing his research activities on the phytoremediation of soil and watercontaminated with selenium, boron, and salinity, Dr Bañuelos is the principal author
of over 60 refereed technical articles and a member of the American ChemicalSociety, American Society of Agronomy, and the International Soil Science Society,among others
He received his German proficiency degree in 1977 from Middlebury College
in Vermont, a B.A degree in German from Humboldt State University in California(1979) and a German language certification at Goethe Institute in Germany in 1979
In 1984, he received a B.S degree in crop science and Master’s in agriculture fromCalPoly Technical University, and in 1987 he was a National Science FoundationFellow at Hohenheim University in Germany, where he acquired a Ph.D in plantnutrition/agriculture

SUMMARY
Phytoremediation is a new technology that uses specially selected mulating plants to remediate soil contaminated with heavy metals and radionuclides.Phytoremediation offers an attractive and economical alternative to currently prac-ticed soil removal and burial methods The integration of specially selected metal-accumulating crop plants (e.g., Brassica juncea) with innovative soil amendmentsallows plants to achieve high biomass and metal accumulation rates from soils LA4113 ch01 frame Page 1 Saturday, August 14, 1999 10:10 AM
