Biological and chemical studies on soil contaminated with Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP)
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2015, Vol 69, Issue 11
Abstract
The Centre for Biotechnology of the Silesian University of Technology conducts research project FILOMATA with students of the secondary school. The funding was obtained under the programme of the Minister of Science and Higher Education “Universities of Young Inventors”. The studies have shown stimulating effect of calcium peroxide (CaO2) on change of physicochemical and biological parameters of soil contaminated with used engine oil (UEO) and levamisole (LEV), a veterinary drug. In samples with introduced CaO2 two times higher decrease of LEV was observed. For UEO, removal effect was comparable, while introduced CaO2 optimized soil pH and physical and chemical changes leading to production of increased amount of catechol in relation to phenol.
