Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that
are usually found in the soil originating from various anthropogenic and natural activities …

In recent years, soil pollution is a major global concern drawing worldwide attention.
Earthworms can resist high concentrations of soil pollutants and play a vital role in removing …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic environmental pollutants that are
extremely hydrophobic in nature and resistant to biological degradation. Extraction of PAHs …

Bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in contaminated soils are
reported in many literatures. Composting, in addition to bioremediation, can simultaneously …

Bioremediation technologies have demonstrated significant success on biological quality
recovery of hydrocarbon contaminated soils, employing techniques among which …

Background Since the industrial revolution, the contamination of agricultural soils by
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has increasingly become of serious global …

Vermiremediation, which uses earthworms to remediate polluted soils, is an expanding
technology in recently years. Surfactants have been widely used in bioremediation and …

Earthworms burrow through the soil thereby accumulating many lipophilic organic pollutants
from the surrounding environment, so they could be used to remove polycyclic aromatic …
