TL;DR
The research progress of microbial remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil in the past five years was reviewed and the research focus of microbial remediation technology in the future was pointed out, which provided support for the sustainable treatment of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil.
Petroleum sludge contamination remains a pressing challenge in oil-producing regions, posing
risks to soil health, ecosystem and public safety due to the high concentrations of hydrocarbons
such as Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs).
This study investigated the remediation po...

Relevance. Disruptions in technological processes, along with leaks and spills at industrial facilities, result in soil contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons. When oil enters the soil, it reduces air and water permeability, leading to soil ecosystem degradation, including microorganisms and vegetation. Therefore, the...

Heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, microplastics, and pesticides exhibit mutagenic, carcinogenic, immunotoxic, and teratogenic properties, leading to significant changes in the soil’s physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics. This poses a substantial threat to overall ecosystem health. Consequently, a...
