Overview
- Remediation chemistry approach is applied to categorize the interactions encountered between humics, ecotoxicants, and living organisms in a polluted environment
- The scope of current remedial applications of humics is assessed to define promising directions of technological developments, and to formulate the research needs
- In situ remediation technologies are shown to be the most viable option for the application of humics as active agents in remediation
