Enrichment and Identification of Askarel oil (PCB blend) degrading bacteria enriched from landfill sites in Edo State, Nigeria. [PDF]
, 2011 Microbial degradation following aerobic biodegradation is one of the means used by microorganisms for the removal of persistent organic pollutants from the soil. Bacterial species namely: Pseudomonas, Micrococcus Arthrobacter and Acinetobacter capable of

Bioaccumulation modelling and sensitivity analysis for discovering key players in contaminated food webs: the case study of PCBs in the Adriatic Sea [PDF]
, 2015 Modelling bioaccumulation processes at the food web level is the main step to analyse the effects of pollutants at the global ecosystem level. A crucial question is understanding which species play a key role in the trophic transfer of contaminants to ...

Base-catalysed decomposition of polychlorinated biphenyls in transformer oils by mixture of sodium hydroxide, glycerol and iron [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 In this research, a method based on base-catalysed decomposition (BCD) was developed using sodium hydroxide and glycerol for dechlorination of transformer oils with low levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Bioaccumulation surveillance in Milford Haven Waterway [PDF]
, 2011 Biomonitoring of contaminants (metals, organotins, PAHs, PCBs) was carried out along the Milford Haven Waterway (MHW) and at a reference site in the Tywi Estuary during 2007-2008. The species used as bioindicators encompass a variety of uptake routes -

Use of isotope dilution method to predict bioavailability of organic pollutants in historically contaminated sediments. [PDF]
, 2014 Many cases of severe environmental contamination arise from historical episodes, where recalcitrant contaminants have resided in the environment for a prolonged time, leading to potentially decreased bioavailability.
