Abstract

Excessive consumption of petroleum products carries the risk that these toxic chemicals enter and accumulate in the environment hazarding natural habitats or human health. Areas being close to vehicle traffic or where handling and maintenance operations of vehicles take place are considered to be particularly vulnerable, thus, we aimed at investigating a railway marshalling yard polluted by used lubricant oils (ULOs). Quantitative determination of total petrol hydrocarbons in the polluted soil revealed a high level of pollution. Apart from the presence of open-chain or branched paraffins and aromatics, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy identified intermediers from the microbial degradative pathways of hydrocarbons. Occurence of metabolically active microorganisms even in this highly ULOcontaminated soil indicates that biological rehabilitation techniques can be preferable over more invasive and expensive physico-chemical methods to meet the soil standard.
