Low energy-input alternatives based on locally available products are needed for treating petroleum-hydrocarbon spills in northern regions. We tested the efficacy of three local biological components (municipal compost, white-rot fungus: Pleurotus…
Polluted soils in temperate regions are frequently exposed to seasonal freezing and thawing events during which the soil biological properties are expected to change in response to the associated temperature variations. In this study, we investigated…
The interpretation of geophysical survey results to answer hydrologic, engineering, and geologic questions is critical to diverse problems for management of water, energy, and mineral resources. Although geophysical images provide valuable…
During the 1991 Gulf War, oil wells in the oil fields of Kuwait were set aflame and destroyed. This resulted in severe crude oil pollution of the countries only fresh water aquifers. Here, for the first time the natural attenuation and biodegradation…
The characterization, occurrence, fate and behaviour of spilled oil in the affected boreal freshwater ecosystem were investigated in this study following a spill in March 2015, in Gogama, Ontario, Canada. A physicochemical property analysis of the…
The role of natural attenuation processes in groundwater contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons is of intense scientific and practical interest. This study provides insight into the biodegradation effects in groundwater at a site contaminated by…
The characterization, occurrence, fate and behaviour of spilled oil in the affected boreal freshwater ecosystem were investigated in this study following a spill in March 2015, in Gogama, Ontario, Canada. A physicochemical property analysis of the…
This article provides a comprehensive review on aerobic composting remediation of soil contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs). The studies reviewed have demonstrated that composting technology can be applied to treat TPH contamination…
This study was aimed at remediation ofoily waste contaminated area by utilizing a newly obtained bacterium. For experimental setup three different approachessuch as bioaugmentation, natural attenuation and abiotic factors were employed. In…
