1.		Phytoremediation -- by David T. Tsao;  Hardcover "Hydrocarbon and Environmental Management Group, Naperville, IL. Provides a general overview of phytotechnologies: the use of vegetation to contain, sequester, remove, or degrade inorganic and organic contaminants in soils, sediments, surface waters, and groundwater."
2.		Phytoremediation of Toxic Metals: Using Plants to Clean Up the Environment -- by Ilya Raskin, et al;  Hardcover "For those who have an interest in the domain of plant adaptation to environmental constraints...this book has undoubtedly to be on the shelf, and for those who simply have some scientific and technologic curiosity, the book will give them a clear overview..." (Plant Science)
3.		Biochemical Mechanisms of Detoxification in Higher Plants : Basis of Phytoremediation by George Kvesitadze, Gia Khatisashvili, Tinatin Sadunishvili, Jeremy Ramsden Springer; 1 edition (March, 2006) "This book shows how systematic application of the results of investigations into the metabolism of xenobiotics (foreign, often toxic substances) in plants could make a vastly increased contribution to planetary well-being. Deep physiological knowledge gained from an accumulation of experimental data enables the great differences between the detoxifying abilities of different plants for compounds of different chemical nature to be optimally exploited. Hence planting could be far more systematically adapted to actual environmental needs than is actually the case at present."
4.		Air Pollution and Plant Biotechnology: Prospects for Phytomonitoring and Phytoremediation by K. Omasa (Editor), et al (Hardcover - June 2002) "Plant responses during phytomonitoring, pollution-resistant plant species, imaging diagnosis of plant responses, and the use of novel transgenic plants, along the reviews of basic plant physiology and biochemistry where appropriate."
