摘要

Background/Objectives. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were widely manufactured industrial chemicals valued for their insulating properties and resistance to degradation. The latter characteristic has proved problematic however, because PCBs were found to have a variety of negative environmental and human health impacts and contamination by various Arochlors remains an issue in many soils and sediments. We describe the results of experiments designed to assess the efficacy of a new bacterial approach to the degradation of PCBs in the environment. The protocol is unique in that it uses a thermophilic Geobacillus strain of bacteria in a single-step aerobic process. This method is, to the best of our knowledge, novel and differs markedly from existing bioremediation methods for PCBs that require sequential anaerobic and aerobic conditions and has generally proven difficult to implement. The objectives included the determination of degradation rates for total Arochlors in a pilot study on soil from an abandoned industrial site in the northeastern U.S. that has been contaminated for several decades with PCBs including Arochlor 1254. Objectives also included monitoring the changes in PCB homologs over time and further mass balance and scalability assessments or eventual field applications.
