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 …

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

The recent literature describing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in air, water, soil
and sediment, waste sludge, biomonitoring, toxicity, are reviewed. Aspects of sampling …

Heavy metals in soil are a great threat to ecosystems and human health. The rapid
development of industrialization has created a serious risk of heavy metal pollution in soil …

Soil pollution with organic contaminants is one of the most intractable environmental
problems today, posing serious threats to humans and the environment. Innovative …

Polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) are a large class of organic compounds that contain two
or more fused aromatic rings form by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous material …

The levels, sources and quantitative probabilistic health risks for polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) in agricultural soils in the vicinity of power, steel and petrochemical …

As industrialization increases to meet global need for social and economic development,
clean soil and water are increasingly becoming scarce resources due to contaminations …

Bacterial endophytes with the capacity to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons and promote
plant growth may facilitate phytoremediation for the removal of petroleum hydrocarbons from …

In this study, we examined how urban and industrial sprawl has affected the concentrations
of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals (HMs) in the soils of two …
