Analysis into the viability of pea gravel as a diffusing material for biostimulation systems in petroleum hydrocarbon‐contaminated soils

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Injecting biostimulatory solutions around underground storage tanks (UGSTs) promotes petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) bioremediation without the use of intrusive infrastructure. Yet, it is unclear how the interaction between porous bedding material (i.e., pea gravel) and biostimulatory solutions impacts PHC biodegradation rates.

Freshwater cyanobacteria, identified by microscopic and molecular investigations on a colonized fountain surface: a case study in Palermo (Sicily, Italy)

Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage, 2022
Cyanobacteria or blue algae are ubiquitously present in both fresh and brackish water environments. They also grow in conditions of high humidity, colonizing stones or monuments and fountain surfaces, and creating thick biofilms able to induce ...
