ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for bioremediating aged PCBs such as Aroclor 1260 in aquatic sediments under anerobic conditions by stimulating the dechlorination of the aged PCBs through addition of brominated or iodinated biphenyls or through the addition of a microbial inoculum from another location in addition to brominated or iodinated biphenyls.
