“…Bombardment of the soil with frequent quantities of used engine oil distorts the quality and functional characteristics of the soil whereby its ability to support life diminishes such that its texture, compaction conductivity, ability to retain water, etc become impaired [14][15]. Studies show that plant survival and microbial populations generally decreases as the concentration of petroleum products in the soil increases over time [16][17].…”

Elevated levels of petroleum hydrocarbon and certain heavy metal compounds in soil samples due to environmental and manmade operations can amount to concentrations considered as toxic. Soil samples from 3 different locations, 30 meters from each other were collected and assessed for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), selected heavy metal concentrations, pH, Electrical Conductivity, texture, organic matter, moisture content and bacterial population. The results on the test sites showed that pH range for the workshop soil samples was between 5.08-5.45 in comparison to the control 6.74. Data obtained also revealed that the tested site A alone contained lead (44.91 mg/g) and cadmium (0.01 mg/g). The heavy metal content for sites A, B and C where higher than that of the control site D for which the enrichment factors was determined for sodium (1.

“…According to Macci et al (2013), industrialization during the past decades caused an ever-increasing reliance on petrochemicals, and as a consequence, many sites have been significantly contaminated with petroleum and the petroleum-byproducts (Jesus et al, 2015 andGennadiev et al, 2015). This is especially more serious around the petroleum and petrochemical complexes and refineries in the countries producing these materials and generally the overall industrialized regions.…”

Petroleum and petrochemical hydrocarbons for some places are serious sources of environmental pollutants. To remediate these contaminants, phytoremediation, a relatively low cost and an environmental friendly technique is recommended more widely, now more than ever. Successful and effective applying of hydrocarbons phytoremediation depends mainly on the soil and plant types and conditions and microbial activities and the interactions between these three factors. Although for the last several decades, various plant and organism's species for the phytoremediation processes have been extensively studied, evaluating and characterizing soil properties, as an important objective for sustainable remediation and land use management, which had negligible considerations. An ideal soil for phytoremediation should have proper physical, chemical and biological characteristics to let the plant grow well and produce biomass as high as possible. It also should provide favorable conditions for microbial activities to perform efficient remediation. Soil physical characteristics such as texture, structure, water status and aeration are important factors affecting the microbial activities and consequently the degree of remediation potential. A better understanding of soil physical properties in conjunction with proper soil-plant-microbe management could be exploited to enhance the remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils and thus sustainable healthy environment.

“…The intense heat transmitted to source rocks during volcanic activity accelerates the thermal evolution of organic matter and promotes the generation of hydrocarbons [28][29][30]. As a result these can be present in volcanic soils, often in significant quantities [31].…”

The effects of water content and initial compaction on the dynamic response of volcanic sand from Mount Etna were investigated by a series of experiments on a long Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar apparatus capable of generating stress pulses of duration exceeding one millisecond. The dynamic stress–strain characteristics were determined until large final compressive strains were achieved. An experimental protocol for the preparation of samples characterised by different initial porosity and moisture content was defined in order to reproduce, in a laboratory environment, granular volcanic aggregates representative of naturally occurring soils in different initial density and water content states. It was found that, for limited amounts of water content, the dynamic response of the investigated volcanic wet sand is more compliant than in dry conditions. Conversely, highly saturated samples exhibit a steep increase in stiffness occurring at strains when the dynamic compressive behaviour becomes dominated by the response of the nearly incompressible water. The presence of water has negligible effect on the mechanical behaviour when the samples are loaded at quasi static strain rates. The grain size distribution and morphology of samples tested in different conditions were evaluated and compared by means of edge detection analysis techniques applied to high contrast images.
