Description:
It is a pleasure to present six papers in this issue, selected from presentations at the USEPA conference, Phytoremediation: State of the Science, 5/1-2/2000, Boston, MA. These papers highlight some of the many advances reported in representative areas of phytoremediation. In addition to introducing the six papers that have undergone the standard International Journal of Phytoremediation review, this special commentary also 1) briefly reviews the beginnings of phytoremediation to put the need for the 2000 EPS Conference venue into context, 2) reviews other advances presented at the conference, 3) notes where additional review and synthesis is necessary in context with the reports from other phytoremediation meetings and future developments.
