Soil contamination with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) is widespread throughout the
globe due to the massive production of TPH anthropogenically and its occurrence in the soil …

We used a series of toxicity tests to monitor oil degradation in the Kuwaiti oil lakes. Three
soils from different locations with a history of hydrocarbon contamination were treated in …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are one of the major toxic constituents of crude oil
and therefore, an understanding on PAHs associated risks and their relationship with soil …

Hydrocarbons are made of the elements carbon and hydrogen and are the most abundant
organic compounds in the bio-geosphere. Hydrocarbons are formed biosynthetically …

Extraction and exploration of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) to satisfy the rising world
population's fossil fuel demand is playing havoc with human beings and other life forms by …

We provide a primer and critical review of the characterization, risk assessment, and
bioremediation of weathered hydrocarbons. Historically the remediation of soil contaminated …

Petroleum hydrocarbons, which are organic molecules consisting of carbon and hydrogen,
are found in crude oil. Due to human activities like oil spills, leaking storage tanks, and …

Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) are used as raw materials in many industries and primary
energy sources. However, excessive PHs act as soil pollutants, posing serious threats to …

The ecotoxicity of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil originating from a brownfield site was
evaluated during a 17-month biodegradation pilot test. The initial concentration of total …

The bioavailability and bioaccessibility of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil
underpin the risk assessment of contaminated land with these contaminants. Despite a …
