Biodegradation and Bioconversion of Hydrocarbons
This book details three main topics: the screening and characterization of hydrocarbons from air, soil and water; technologies in the biodegradation of hydrocarbons; and the bioconversion of hydrocarbons for biofuel/chemicals, as well as recent developmen

Preface
Hydorcarbon oil contamination poses severe environmental risks and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) arising from pyrogenic origins can adversely affect human health through consumption of contaminated food. Hydrocarbon inputs into waterways, sediments and seas and oceans arise from both natural seepages and anthropogenic activities. While acute-large inputs arising from shipping and oil and gas exploration/refining accidents attract large media attention, chronic inputs from non-point sources are far less well described. In particular inputs from previously buried sediments through dredging and other sediment di
