“…Petroleum contaminants can hinder the uptakes of nutrient and water of plants (Alkorta and Garbisu 2001;Andrade et al 2004;Shukry et al 2013), cause their biomembrane injury by leading to accumulation of reactive oxygen species (Achuba 2014;Shukry et al 2013), inhibit the photosynthesis and transpiration (Lin et al 2002;Rahbar et al 2012), and finally lead to the death of plants and the degradation of plant communities. In addition, petroleum contaminants and the heavy metals they carry can be bioaccumulated along with the food chain and finally threaten the human health (Park and Park 2011). Considering these, many researchers have devoted to remediate the petroleumcontaminated soil (Chien 2012;Khan et al 2013;Silva et al 2014;Venkidusamy et al 2016).…”

“…were determined [7,17]. Such strong groundwater pollution eliminate them from use in households, what is more, they pose a direct threat to human and animal health [15]. In tested samples high concentrations of aliphatic hydrocarbons with shorter chains were noted (exceeding 100 µg/dm 3 in the case of dodecane).…”

Oil derivatives are commonly used and they play a key role in the economy. They are used in many industries. Such big amounts of oil derivatives products generate vast quantity of pollution. Those pollutants can get into the ground and water beyond any control during catastrophes or due to inadequately managed waste and storage. The aim of the paper was to determine the level of oil derivatives pollution in the groundwater on the area of a former airbase, where between 1950 and 1990 the Soviet Army stationed. Analysis was carried out on groundwater samples from three piezometers placed on the area of the former airbase. In the samples some parameters were determined, i.e. temperature, reaction, electrolytic conductivity, the depth of groundwater surface, the content of aliphatic hydrocarbons, monoaromatic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Determined amount of dissolved hydrocarbons was large what proves unsatisfactory effectiveness of previous rehabilitation processes.

“…Soil samples were contaminated with powdered PAHs in the amount of 0, 1000, 2000, and 4000 mg kg −1 dry matter of soil. The application of such high doses was justified by the amounts of PAHs that are released into the soil environment as a result of frequent and uncontrolled spills of petroleum derivatives (Park and Park 2011 ). Naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene, and pyrene are characterized by n-octanol/water partition coefficients of 3.6, 4.46, 4.5, and 4.8, respectively; they are insoluble in water, but soluble in organic compounds.…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are organic compounds with highly toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic properties, which adversely affect the basic biological parameters of the soil, including the count of microorganisms, and the enzymatic activity. In addition to disturbances to the biological activity of the soil, PAHs may also exhibit toxic effects on plants. In view of the above, the study involved testing aimed at the determination of the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a form of naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene and pyrene on the count, colony development (CD) index, ecophysiological (EP) diversity index of organotrophic bacteria, and the activity of soil dehydrogenases and soil urease. Moreover, an attempt was made to determine the soil’s resistance based on the activity of the above-listed enzymes, and the effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on seed germination and root growth was assessed by Lepidium sativum, Sorghum saccharatum, and Sinapis alba. In addition, the species of bacteria found in a soil subjected to strong pressure of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were isolated. The experiment was performed in a laboratory on samples of loamy sand. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were introduced into the soil in an amount of 0, 1000, 2000, and 4000 mg kg−1 of soil dry matter. Germination and growth of cress (L. sativum), white mustard (S. alba), and sweet sorghum (S. saccharatum) were determined using Phytotoxkit tests. It was found that the tested PAHs increased the average colony counts of organotrophic soil bacteria; pyrene did so to the greatest extent (2.2-fold relative to non-contaminated soil), phenanthrene to the smallest extent (1.4-fold relative to non-contaminated soil). None of the PAHs changed the value of the bacterial colony development (CD) index, while anthracene and pyrene increased the value of the eco-physiological (EP) diversity indicator. PAHs lowered the activity of the tested enzymes. The activity of dehydrogenases was dependent on a greater extent by the type of hydrocarbon (54.56 %) rather than by the dose (10.64 %), while for the activity of urease, it was the opposite. The greater extent was dependent on dose (95.42 %) rather than by type (0.21 %). Dehydrogenases are characterised by greater resistance to the action of PAHs than urease. Based on seed germination and root growth, it has shown that S. alba is best suited, being the most vulnerable plant, while S. saccharatum is the least suited. Subjecting a soil to strong pressure of PAHs leads to disturbances to the biological parameters of the soil, seed germination, and root growth L. sativum, S. saccharatum, and S. alba.
