矿物处理--利用微生物控制和破坏污染物--是美国有害废物清除市场中增长最快的部门之一，预计到2000年将成为每年5亿美元的产业（1）。尽管这项技术的市场不断扩大，而且有许多合法的应用，但生物修复供应商在一些监管机构和该技术的潜在用户中获得了现代蛇油推销员的声誉。生物修复既没有得到普遍的理解，也没有得到普遍的信任，其成功与否也受到了激烈的争论。因此，生物修复是一项需要性能标准的技术。本月，美国国家科学院国家研究理事会将发布一份报告，“原位生物修复：何时起作用？"，它提供了一个三部分的方法来评估生物修复系统的性能，以清理被污染的地下水和土壤（2）。我们在此总结的这份报告，特别侧重于地下水和土壤的生物修复（即原位），而不是土壤的生物修复
iore mediation—the use of microorganisms to control and destroy contaminants—is one of the fastest growing sectors of the US mar-/ket for hazardous-waste cleanup and is expected to become a S500 miliion-per-year industry by the year 2000 (1). Despite the expanding market for this technology and its many legiti-mate applications, bioremediation vendors have acquired a reputation as modern-day snake oil salesmen among some regulators and potential users of the technology. Bioremediation is neither universally under-stood nor trusted, and its success is hotly debated. Bioremediation is thus a technology in need of perfor-mance standards.This month, the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences will release a report,“In Situ Bioremediation: When Does It Work?”, which provides a three-part method for evaluating the perfor-mance of bioremediation systems for cleaning up contaminated ground-water andsoil (2). The report, which we summarize here, focuses specifi-cally on bioremediation of ground-water and soils in place (ie, in situ), as opposed to bioremediation of soil
