The aim of this article is assessment biochar bioremediation potential in the benzo[a]pyrene artificially contaminated Haplic Chernozem with various doses of benzo[a]pyrene (200, 400 and 800 ?g/kg) equivalent to 10, 20 and 40 levels of maximal permissible concentrations (MPC) and 1-5% biochar amendment. The main subject of this study is to research the most effective dose of biochar amendment in benzo[a]pyrene contaminated soil in a model experiment with chernozem. The content of benzo[a]pyrene in soil was determi...

The aim of this article is assessment of the PAHs bioavailability and phytotoxicity on benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) example in model experiment with Haplic Chernozem and that spiked with various doses of BaP (20, 200, 400 and 800 ?g/kg) equivalent to 1, 10, 20 and 40 levels of maximal permissible concentrations (MPC) planted with spring barley (Hordeum sativum distichum). The main subject of this study is to research the bioindication of BaP contaminated soil in a model experiment to quantify the main features of BaP accu...

The aim of the work is to study the levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a 20-cm layer of soils in the Novocherkassk energy plant (NEP) emission zone, based on the results of monitoring studies conducted in 2017. In order to study the PAHs levels in the soils of the anthropogenic emission zone an annual sampling of soil samples of 10 monitoring sites located at a distance of 1-20 km from the NEP was carried out. Samples of soils were selected from a depth of 0-5 and 5-20 cm. In the selected soil sa...
