Germination Rate and Radicle Growth Inhibition in Crops by Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) [PDF]
Korean Journal of Environmental Agriculture, 2013 Abstract BACKGROUND: Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), which are main materials of soil contamination by oil, are a term used for any mixture of hydrocarbons. Korea Ministry of Environment established the maximum permissible level of TPH in farmland by 500 mg/kg, and reported that the TPH level of soil in 266 installation such as gas station ...
