Structural Selectivity of PAH Removal Processes in Soil, and the Effect of Metal Co-Contaminants

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) form a convenient structural series of molecules with which to examine the selectivity exerted on their removal by soil microbiota. It is known that there is an inverse relationship between PAH molecular size and degradation rates in soil. In this paper, we lo...
