Enhancement of aerobic microbial degradation of polychlorinated biphenyl in soil microcosms.

abstract：:Exposure to agrochemicals in the aquatic environment often occurs as time-varying or repeated pulses. Time-varying exposures may occur due to runoff events and spray drift associated with precipitation and application events. Hydrologic dilution, dispersion, and degradation also produce pulsed exposures. Standard labo...
