information
Description:
Composting is an emerging ex situ biological technology that is potentially applicable to nonvolatile and semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in soils. It has been applied to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and explosives. It has been found to be potentially effective in biodegrading heavier petroleum hydrocarbons and some pesticides. Composting is not generally employed to treat heavy metals or other inorganics, although it may be applicable to inorganic cyanides.
