Environmental pollutions and biodegradation
African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development, 2012 Innumerable novel organic compounds were synthesized during the past few decades [1]. Many of these compounds are used today as pesticides. This usage is causing serious pollution of aquatic bodies and consequently the agricultural soil and the ecosystem. There is excessive exploitation of the earth’s petroleum reserves.

PLoS ONE, 2012 Environmentally Degradable Parameter ((Ed)K) is of importance in the describing of biodegradability of environmentally biodegradable polymers (BDPs). In this study, a concept (Ed)K was introduced. A test procedure of using the ISO 14852 method and detecting the evolved carbon dioxide as an analytical parameter was developed, and the calculated (Ed)K ...

Effect of environmental parameters on the biodegradation of oil sludge [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1979 A laboratory study was conducted with the aim of evaluating and optimizing the environmental parameters of "landfarming", i.e., the disposal by biodegradation in soil of oily sludges generated in the refining of crude oil and related operations. Oil sludge biodegradation was monitored by CO2 evolution and by periodic analysis of residual hydrocarbons ...

Environmental Impact of Flame Retardants (Persistence and Biodegradability) [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2009 Flame-retardants (FR) are a group of anthropogenic environmental contaminants used at relatively high concentrations in many applications. Currently, the largest market group of FRs is the brominated flame retardants (BFRs). Many of the BFRs are considered toxic, persistent and bioaccumulative.

Biodegradability and the estimation of environmental concentration
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1979 Abstract In order to assess the environmental acceptability of a chemical we need to estimate both the lowest concentration at which it will cause adverse effects and the highest concentrations which are likely to be present in the environment.
