The Effects of Aerobic Pseudomonades on Diesel Contaminated Soil by using Bioremediation
| Division: | Earth & Environmental Sciences | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Greater Vancouver | | City: | West Vancouver, BC | | School: | Collingwood School | | Abstract: | I tested bioremediation - naturally occurring aerobic bacteria eating at carbon chains to decontaminate them. Each week for a month I tested the decreasing extractable petroleum hydrocarbon (EPH) levels in three samples with different concentrations of diesel. Over four weeks, the samples decreased 68-74 percent in EPH levels. |
