were detected in the untreated soil. Mechanism of PCB transformation in soil at<br />

presence of activated carbon is being studied.<br />

CONCLUSIONS<br />

AC introduced to soil in adequate dose reduced concentration of DCA, TNT<br />

and probably PCB or its metabolites in soil solution to low toxicity to degrading<br />

microorganisms and plants; AC promoted total biodegradation of DCA<br />

accompanied by almost stoichiometric release of chloride-ions; AC promoted<br />

microbial reduction of TNT nitro-groups and simultaneously catalyzed chemical<br />

oxidation of its methyl-group that resulted in accelerated transformation of TNT to<br />

products of low toxicity that were strongly bound to the soil-carbon matrix.<br />

Mechanism of accelerated PCB detoxification in soil at presence of activated<br />

carbon is being studied.<br />
