Evaluation of cleanup endpoint parameters for sandy beaches polluted with heavy fuel oil

Appropriate technology for soil remediation in tropical low-income countries - a pilot scale test of three different amendments for accelerated biodegradation of diesel fuel in Ultisol

“…Soil contamination by pollutants from the petroleum sector is a worldwide problem due to spillage, improper handling and transport of liquid fuel and oil (FAO, 2018;Kuranchie et al, 2019;Lawal, 2017;Mansour et al, 2017;Nkansah et al, 2017;Olive, 2018;Riser-Roberts, 1998).
