Degradation of Askarel (PCB Blend) by Indigenous Aerobic Bacteria Isolates from Dumpsites in Ore, Ondo State.Nigeria (2010).
The removal of toxic industrial products such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) in soils has become a daunting and necessary
task. These compounds adsorb onto organic matter in the environment, making decontamination using
traditional approaches difficult or ineffective. The use of microbes to transform these contaminants to
non toxic...
