Biodegradation of Aircraft Deicing Fluids in Soil Slurries
Propylene glycol (PG) is a main component in several commercial formulations of aircraft deicing fluids (ADF). Their use is a source of soil pollution along airport runways. Even though PG is biodegradable by soil bacteria, seasonal overloads can give rise to occasional groundwater contamination. A...
