Bioremediation of Phenanthrene Polluted Soils
The best metabolic conditions for the biodegradation of hydrocarbons by a selected microbial consortium from a natural soil were investigated in order to improve the efficiency of bioremediation processes for cleaning of polluted waters and soils. Phenanthrene is one of the most recalcitrant pollutants to microbial decomposition and most difficult to remove. A microbial consortium was selected ...
متن کاملChemical and Ecotoxicity Assessment of PAH-Contaminated Soils Remediated by Enhanced Soil Flushing
Development of remediative techniques for PAH-contaminated soils and evaluation of residual toxicity after remediation are important issues in the assessment of soil quality. To investigate the efficiency of soil remediation technology using biomonitoring assay, soil flushing experiments with surfactant and ecotoxicity tests with Eisenia fetida were carried out for artificially phenanthrene-con...
متن کاملUsing deuterated PAH amendments to validate chemical extraction methods to predict PAH bioavailability in soils.
Validating chemical methods to predict bioavailable fractions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by comparison with accumulation bioassays is problematic. Concentrations accumulated in soil organisms not only depend on the bioavailable fraction but also on contaminant properties. A historically contaminated soil was freshly spiked with deuterated PAHs (dPAHs). dPAHs have a similar fate ...
متن کاملThe abundance of health-associated bacteria is altered in PAH polluted soils—Implications for health in urban areas?
Long-term exposure to polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been connected to chronic human health disorders. It is also well-known that i) PAH contamination alters soil bacterial communities, ii) human microbiome is associated with environmental microbiome, and iii) alteration in the abundance of members in several bacterial phyla is associated with adverse or beneficial human health effects. W...
متن کاملAnalysis of hexavalent chromium uptake by plants in polluted soils
Concentration levels of hexavalent chromium in contaminated soil and in Zea mays plant parts were determined and Cr(VI) bioaccumulation and bioconcentration capacity of this plant were discussed. Zea mays seeds were sown in 40 mg Cr(VI)/kg dw polluted soil. After harvesting it was observed that hexavalent chromium concentrations in plant organs decreased in the following order: roots > stems > ...
