Biological Recovery of Soil Impacted by 30,000 ppm of Gasoline
Abstract: Gasoline is a mixture of low and high molecular weight hydrocarbons, which spilled on the soil due to fuel theft, causes environmental pollution. In consequence the Mexican standard, called NOM-138- SEMARNAT/SSA1-2012, establishes a maximum allowed limit of 4,400 ppm gasoline in soil. Therefore, the objectives of this research were i) biological recovery of the soil impacted by 30,000 ppm of gasoline, by biostimulation with commercial detergent 123® plus a mineral …
