“…Tremendous progress have been made in the past 30 years refining CJ method to decision-making for new product evaluation, competitive or product positioning analysis and market segmentation (Lohrke et al, 2010). However, CJ is relatively new in the evaluation of environmental processes where only a few scattered examples have been reported (Lareau and Rae, 1989;Mackenzie and Eduljee, 1990;Gan, 1992;Opaluch et al, 1993;Roe et al, 1996;Johnson and Desvousges, 1997;Adamowicz et al, 1998;Farber and Griner, 2000;Álvarez-Farizo and Hanley, 2002;Muramatsu and Nakamura, 2002;Cheung and Chung, 2008). To the best of our knowledge, there is no yet any application of CJ to evaluate the influence of multiple physicochemical factors on hydrocarbons bioavailability in contaminated soils.…”

Compost amendment to contaminated soils is a potential approach for waste recycling and soil remediation. The relative importance and interactions of multiple factors on PAH bioavailability in soils were investigated using conjoint analysis and five-way analysis of variance. Results indicated that soil type and contact time were the two most significant factors influencing the PAH bioavailability in amended soils. The other two factors (compost type and ratio of compost addition) were less important but their interactions with other factors were significant. Specifically the 4-factor interactions showed that compost addition stimulated the degradation of high molecular PAHs at the initial stage (3 month) by enhancing the competitive sorption within PAH groups. Such findings suggest that a realistic decision-making towards hydrocarbon bioavailability assessment should consider interactions among various factors. Further to this, this study demonstrated that compost amendment can enhance the removal of recalcitrant hydrocarbons such as PAHs in contaminated soils.
