The global use of petroleum hydrocarbons for energy and raw materials in various
applications has increased with extensive release of a wide variety of contaminants into the …

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 …

Global environmental pollutants are becoming intense because of the increasing human
population, urbanisation, and industrialisation. Human health and the ecosystem are …

The potential for biotransformation of weathered hydrocarbon residues in soils collected
from two commercial oil refinery sites (Soil A and B) was studied in microcosm experiments …

Bioremediation of contaminated soils has gained increasing interest in recent years as a low-
cost and environmentally friendly technology to clean soils polluted with anthropogenic …

The bioremediation of historic industrial contaminated sites is a complex process. Co-
contamination, often with lead which was commonly added to gasoline until 16 years ago is …

Abstract Characterization of the typical petroleum pollutants, polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) and n-alkanes, and indigenous microbial community structure and …

Bioremediation techniques are being developed as substitutes for physical–chemical
methodologies that are expensive and not sustainable. For example, using the agricultural …

Removal of poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from waste water is a challenging task due
to their hydrophobic and persistent nature. The present study investigated the efficiency of …

The development of human civilization throughout history has led to growing disruption of
