A laboratory column study was set up to evaluate changes in contaminant distribution and sediment toxicity following nitrate-based bioremediation and to correlate toxicity reduction with loss of fuel components. Glass columns were packed with sediment from an aquifer that had been contaminated with

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Bioaccessibility is often the limiting factor for the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in soils. The present study explores the potential of amending canola oil, an economically and ecologically attractive soil additive, for the enhancement of bio
## Abstract Two models, a Σpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) model based on equilibrium partitioning theory and a logistic‐regression model, were developed and evaluated to predict sediment‐associated PAH toxicity to __Hyalella azteca.__ A ΣPAH model was applied to freshwater sediments. This st
