Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are generated due to incomplete burning of
organic substances. Use of fossil fuels is the primary anthropogenic cause of PAHs emission …

Biosurfactants comprise a wide array of amphiphilic molecules synthesized by plants,
animals, and microbes. The synthesis route dictates their molecular characteristics, leading …

Heavy metal toxicity has become a pressing ecological problem that affects the ecosystems
through bioaccumulation, representing a serious public health hazard. Many conventional …

Microbial biosurfactants are low-molecular-weight surface-active compounds of high
industrial interest owing to their chemical properties and stability under several …

This review aims to provide an overview of the sources and reactions of persistent organic
pollutants (POPs) and surfactants in soil and sediments, the surfactant-enhanced …

Land treatment has become an essential waste management practice. Therefore, soil
becomes a major source of contaminants including organic chemicals and potentially toxic …

Due to the increased use of crude oil and other oil-related products, a large amount of waste
is produced and discharged into the environment. These wastes contain toxic heavy metals …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are amongst the most abundant contaminants
found in the aquatic environment. Due to their toxicity and carcinogenicity, their sources …

PAHs are largely spread in the aquatic environment, and the drawbacks of conventional
remediation techniques as well as the expenditures for alternative disposal of polluted …

Coastal areas impacted by high anthropogenic pressures typically display sediment
contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals (HMs) …
