Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) occurrence and remediation methods
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic substances occurring at various concentrations in atmosphere, soils, waters and sediments. PAHs, inherited both from natural and anthropogenic processes, are persistent organic pollutants (POP) due to their chemical stability and biodegradation resistance. The increase of road transportation, and of industrial an...
متن کاملPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation rates: a structure-based study.
This study was designed to examine the role of molecular structure in determining the biodegradation rates of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Laboratory experiments were performed in aqueous systems, and data were analyzed in a manner that allowed determination of first-order biodegradation rates independent of bioavailability limitations from physical-chemical processes. An aerobic mi...
متن کاملBiodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Aerobic Mixed Bacterial Culture Isolated from Hydrocarbon Polluted Soils
In this study, the degradation potential of five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by aerobic mixed bacterial cultures was investigated. Microorganisms were isolated from hydrocarbon contaminated soils of Shadegan wetland located in southwest of Iran. The degradation experiments were conducted in liquid cultures. PAH or PAHs concentration was 100 mg/L at the beginning of degradation e...
متن کاملAromatic Hydrocarbon Decomposition by Neustonic Bacteria Part I. Single-ring Hydrocarbon Biodegradation
The present paper provides an account of a study on benzene, toluene and xylene degradation by neustonic and planktonic bacteria in lake Jeziorak Maty. Aromatic hydrocarbons were better decomposed by neustonic bacteria than planktonic bacteria. Moreover, the obtained data point to the total number of bacteria and heterotrophic bacteria number being greater in surface microlayer than in subsurfa...
متن کاملPlant-Aid Remediation of Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Sites
Phytoremediation is an emerging green technology that uses plants and their associated microbes to remediate different environments contaminated with various pollutants. Phytoremediation, as an effective soil remediation technology, has gained popularity in the past ten years both in developed and developing countries. The main goal of the current article is to improve the understanding of phyt...
