While significant progress has been made in the development of innovative and more cost-effective environmental remediation technologies, efforts are needed to facilitate broader use of these technologies by government and industry. This monograph will serve as a reference tool for remediation professionals to effectively apply in situ bioremediation of perchlorate in groundwater by providing a critical review of the past decade of intensive research, development, and technology demonstrations.
