Demonstration of Nitrate-Enhanced In Situ Bioremediation at a Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminated Site
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-28)Alternative strategies involving in situ remediation technologies have been developed to assist with property clean up, however, cost-effectiveness and discrepancies in success rates and timeliness continue. The objective ... -
Field Application of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria Enhanced Phytoremediation on an Urban Brownfield and the Derivation of Direct Soil Contact Values for Weathered Petroleum Hydrocarbons (Fraction 3)
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-13)There are over 30,000 contaminated brownfield sites in Canada, many of which are located in desirable urban areas; and therefore have a high value for potential redevelopment. The remediation of urban brownfield sites ... -
The influence of soil moisture, oxygen, and temperature on naphthalene biodegradation and CO2 and CH4 effluxes
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-22)Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) are essential to the functioning of the industrialized world yet serve a potential threat to human and ecosystem health when they inadvertently enter the environment. In recent decades, ...
