Bioremediation of Sediments Contaminated by Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Major Goals and Objectives

Evaluate the following:

  • Surfactant when present at nontoxic concentrations will increase the rate and extent of utilization of high three-and four-ringed PAHs
  • Components of mixtures of PAHs may inhibit the degradation of PAHs which are otherwise utilized by bacterial strains
  • A sediment slurry system will be favorable for bioremediation of contaminated sediments
