The effect of dissolved humic substances on the binding and biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil
Leonardite is a naturally occurring oxidized form of lignite coal that is rich in humic materials. It is collected during coal-mining procedures, as it is commonly found overlying coal seams. Humic substances have been shown to significantly enhance the aqueous solubilities of PAHs by acting as a s...
