Does Activated Carbon Used for Soil Remediation Impact Eisenia fetida?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry"
DOI: 10.1002/etc.5622
Abstract: Because granular activated carbon can sequester organic pollutants, a potential strategy for reducing the bioavailability of organic contaminants in soil is through its application to the soil's surface. It is well understood that activated carbon… read more here.
