In this study, three different soils with contrasting features, spiked with 300 mg benzo[a]pyrene (BaP)/kg dry soil, were incubated at 20 °C and 60% water holding capacity for 540 days. At different time points, BaP and {DNA} were extracted and quant... Read More about Potential use of DNA adducts to detect mutagenic compounds in soil.

This chapter provides an overview of the biological tools to assess contaminants bioavailability in soils. Compounds that cause contamination include heavy metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, and chlorinated solvents. For the purpos...
