so far, different methods have been applied to clean up soils contaminated with oil. bioremediation is one of the clean up technologies which uses microorganisms or microbial processes to degrade oil contaminations in soils. this study evaluates the applicability of cow manure as bioremediation alternative for soils spiked with petroleum hydrocarbons. target contaminant of this research was die...

The contamination of soil and groundwater by LNAPLs is a problem that has been treated over several years, because, they are used in the industrial worldwide. Its location and behavior in the subsurface has been monitored through invasive methods that disturb the environment and they are costly. In this sense, we integrated a noninvasive hydrogeophysical method as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)...

From inspection of the literature it is clear that sufficient analytical instruments for the application of oil fingerprinting on soil contamination problems are available. However well defined requirements have to be fulfilled. Among these prerequisites are the availability of unique oil signatures and sufficient variation within the different fuels on the Flemish market. On behalf of the Publ...

The possible effect of contrails in modifying the weather is reconsidered in the light of information obtained from ground-level contrails in Alaska. It appears likely that inadvertent cloud seeding b y jet aircraft may be of the same order of magnitude as that attained in commercial cloud seeding operations. Further investigation is needed; but in the meantime, the possibility of contrail cont...

Biochar has been proposed as a suitable biostimulant for the remediation of hydrocarbon contamination, and also potential to act carrier hydrocarbonoclastic microorganisms which could bioaugment endogenous microbial communities. However, evidence regarding biostimulatory effects biochars on bioremediation is somewhat equivocal, possibly due variability physicochemical properties biochar soil ac...

The study was conducted to determine the amount of contamination such as soot and silicon iron engine oil fuel tractors Mongolia's agricultural sector. According this research, were randomly selected for field testing during spring’s sowing summer autumn harrowing time, samples taken from them with a special vacuum suction according relevant instructions determined in accredited laboratory Tece...
