Influence of Oil Pollution on Various Types of Soil

The impact of oil pollution on the physicochemical properties of various types of arid-land zonal soils and their ability for self-purification are evaluated. A vegetation experiment based on bioindication principles concerning the reaction of crops to an oil-contaminated environment indicated that crops with varying sensitivities can sprout and grow on oil-contaminated soils. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
