“…The 16 PAHs content had a significantly negative correlation with the activity of most of the studied soil enzymes: dehydrogenases, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase ( Table 7). The data presented by numerous authors (Maliszewska-Kordybach and Smreczak 1997, Baran et al 2004, Wyszkowska et al 2006, Bielińska et al 2014, Lipińska et al 2014) confirm particularly high sensitivity of dehydrogenases and phosphatases to soil contamination with PAHs. Their activity may be used as an indicator of soil pollution with these xenobiotics (Bielińska et al 2014).…”

Abstract. Soils from the Lublin area exposed to low-stack emission from home heating and transport were investigated. Changes in soil enzymatic activity and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) content were analysed. Soil samples were collected in July and November 2016 and January 2017. Results of the study show that enzymatic activity and PAHs content depended on types of buildings, study period (intensification of pollutant emission from household heating), traffic volume and atmospheric air movement. Low enzymatic activities and high PAHs content in the soils were observed in the autumn-winter period in the areas with dense single-family housing and located in the vicinity of streets with intense road traffic.

“…The activity of dehydrogenases is one of the most frequently used biological parameters for the evaluation of soil quality. Being intracellular enzymes, dehydrogenases are often mentioned as a good parameter for the estimation of contaminants (Galiulin et al 2012 ; Lipińska et al 2014 ). They perform as indicators of contamination of the environment with lipophilic substances because their presence reduces the redox potential as a result of the modification of oxygenation conditions, leading to a change in the terminal acceptor from oxygen molecule to Fe 3+ cations.…”

“…It is noteworthy that a mixture of PAH petroleum products affects the enzymes still less adversely than PAH penetrating the environment in their pure state, e.g. naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene and pyrene (Lipińska et al 2014 ). The negative influence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on the activity of dehydrogenases was reported in Gianfreda et al ( 2005 ).…”

The aim of the research was to compare the effects of various petroleum products, biodiesel, diesel oil, fuel oil and unleaded petrol on soil dehydrogenases, and to evaluate biostimulation with compost and urea in the restoration of homeostasis of the soil contaminated with these products. The obtained results allowed for defining the weight of dehydrogenases in monitoring of the environment subjected to pressure from petroleum hydrocarbons. The studies were carried out under laboratory conditions for 180 days, and loamy sand was the soil formation used in the experiment. The petroleum products were used in the following amounts: 0, 2, 4, 8 and 16 g kg−1 DM of soil. Indices of the influence of the petroleum product and the stimulating substance on the activity of dehydrogenases were calculated. It was proved that the petroleum products affect soil dehydrogenases in various ways. Biodiesel, diesel oil and fuel oil stimulate these enzymes, while petrol acts as an inhibitor. Among the substances tested regarding biostimulation of soils contaminated with petroleum products, compost is definitely more useful than urea, and therefore, the former should be used for the remediation of such soils. Stimulation of dehydrogenases by compost, both in contaminated and non-contaminated soils, proves that it may accelerate microbiological degradation of petroleum-derived contaminants.

“…The inhibiting effects of PAHs are associated with their toxicity to microorganisms, type of enzyme, characteristics of individual compounds, and their quantity in the soil environment (Lipińska et al 2014;Wyszkowska et al 2015). The adaptation of soil microorganisms to environmental pollution with PAHs is also important (Rodrigues-Blanco et al 2010).…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the mutual relations between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) originated from atmospheric emissions and enzymatic activity and humic substances in soils at differently urbanized area, on an example of the Lublin city, east Poland. Materials and methods The chosen areas represented three differently urbanized environments: old tenement houses and modern residential blocks, mixture of different building and rural landscape, and typical rural environment with smallholding farms, respectively. On each of the urban, suburban, and rural areas, one representative plot was chosen on fallow lands classified as luvisol derived from loess. The soil samples were collected from the top 25 cm layer. The following properties were determined: pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, humic and fulvic acids, PAHs content (14 PAHs from US EPA list), and the activities of the following enzymes: dehydrogenases, acid phosphatase, alkane phosphatase, protease, and urease. Results and discussion Higher contents of organic C and total N were found in the rural soil samples. The share of humic acid was similar in all soils investigated, ranging from 19.38 to 25.27%, while fulvic acid values differ significantly between urban and rural areas. The urban soils indicated much lower share of fulvic acids (9.78-10.99%) than those of rural (29.02-29.32%). Consequently, the values of the C HA :C FA ratio of the urban soil were approximately two times higher than those of the rural soil. The results showed that both the rate of humification and the activity of dehydrogenases, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, and proteases in the soils increased in the following sequence: urban < suburban < rural. Conclusions The results showed that an increase of PAHs in the urbanized areas affect other soil properties. The phenanthrene/ anthracene and fluoranthene/pyrene ratios pointed to coal combustion as the principal source of PAHs in the investigated soils. The PAH content in the urbanized area inhibit humification processes in the soil and the activity of dehydrogenases, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, and proteases.
