(1974) Introduction to Exploration Geochemistry. Applied Publishing Ltd., Wilmette, Illinois, U.S.A. --- this book has a section on the use of vegetation surveys (that is where veg. samples are analyzed for their chemical content). The idea is that some plants concentrate particular elements above what would be found in the soil. Also, a tree's root system "samples" to a greater depth than could be done by digging a soil pit. A book by Brooks that might be a bit easier to find than the article listed by the previous poster: Brooks, R.R. (1972) Geobotany and Biogeochemistry in Mineral Exploration. Harper and Row.

Although the report is funded by the EPA it carries no report number and so I don't think that it can be obtained through whatever government publications process is in place for run-of-the-mill reports. I've included below all the information found on the inside of the title page. A university bookstore should be able to purchase the book directly from the publisher but I've been informed that this can get expensive. Stay tuned in the coming days for more information on how to get a copy. I'm planning to talk to some professors in the Department to see if they received a copy and if so, the sender may have indicated how to get more copies.

Just found this group and was startled to see at least 4 messages on BIOREMEDIATION. From what I gather, there is not a specific newsgroup for this topic, but I wonder if there isn't sufficient interest to start one. At least this forum is a good place to start. Thanks, Bob, for the info on the Handbook of Bioremediation. You might also check out: "In situ bioremediation: When does it work?" by the National Research Council, 1993, National Academy Press. "Biotreatment of Industrial and Hazardous Waste" by Morris Leavin and Michael Gealt, McGraw-Hill, 1993. "Guide for Assessing and Remediating Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Soils", American Petroleum Institute, API Publication 1629, 1993. You might also be interested to know that the EPA maintains a BBS dedicated to bioremediation, avaliable through ATTIC (Alternative Treatment Technology Information CLearinghouse: Dial 703-908-2138, 2400, N,8,1). They also publish a FREE monthly publication called "Bioremediation in the Field" which you may request over the phone. Finally, I have some references from Kimberly Ogden at the University of Arizonea, Department of Chemical Engineering, on RDX and TNT degradation. She does a variety of work on plasmid isolation as well. Keep me posted.
