Microbial degradation of linear alkylbenzene cable oil in soil and aqueous culture under aerobic and anaerobic conditions
Linear alkylbenzene (LAB) is a light non-aqueous phase liquid used as insulating oil in buried electricity transmission cables, from where it may enter soil and groundwater in the event of damage to the cable casing or joints. LAB is also found in the aquatic environment due to its use as a precurso...
