A review on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: Source, environmental impact, effect on human health and remediation
TL;DR: In this paper, the main anthropogenic sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their effect on the concentrations of these compounds in air are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of biochar and greenwaste compost amendments on mobility, bioavailability and toxicity of inorganic and organic contaminants in a multi-element polluted soil.
TL;DR: Biochar was most effective, resulting in a 10 fold decrease of Cd in pore water and a resultant reduction in phytotoxicity, and the results highlight the potential of biochar for contaminated land remediation.

Bioremediation of Heavy Metals from Soil and Aquatic Environment: An Overview of Principles and Criteria of Fundamental Processes
Ruchita Dixit,Wasiullah,Deepti Malaviya,K. Pandiyan,Udai B. Singh,Asha Sahu,Renu Shukla,Bhanu Pratap Singh,Jai P. Rai,Pawan Sharma,Harshad Lade,Diby Paul +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the abilities of microorganisms and plants in terms of tolerance and degradation of heavy metals is presented, with special reference to the genomics of heavy metal accumulator plants and the identification of functional genes involved in tolerance and detoxification.

Hydroxyl radicals based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for remediation of soils contaminated with organic compounds: A review
TL;DR: In this article, a general overview on the application of AOPs to pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPHs) contaminated soils remediation is provided.

Characterization of slow pyrolysis biochars: effects of feedstocks and pyrolysis temperature on biochar properties.
Stefanie Kloss,Franz Zehetner,Alex Dellantonio,Raad Hamid,Franz Ottner,Volker Liedtke,Manfred Schwanninger,Martin H. Gerzabek,Gerhard Soja +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that biochars are highly heterogeneous materials that, depending on feedstock and HTT, may be suitable for soil application by contributing to the nutrient status and adding recalcitrant C to the soil but also potentially pose ecotoxicological challenges.

Microbial degradation of hydrocarbons in the environment.
J G Leahy,Rita R. Colwell +1 more
TL;DR: Rates of biodegradation depend greatly on the composition, state, and concentration of the oil or hydrocarbons, with dispersion and emulsification enhancing rates in aquatic systems and absorption by soil particulates being the key feature of terrestrial ecosystems.

Principles of microbial PAH-degradation in soil.
TL;DR: This review discusses the microbial PAH-degradation with special emphasis on both biological and physico-chemical factors influencing the biodegradation of poorly available PAHs.
