ABSTRACT:
An aerobic method for in situ treatment of water and soil which has been contaminated with chlorinated hydrocarbons. The aerobic method involves feeding an aqueous solution of an oxygen source and nutrients without the addition of a flammable carbon source such as propane or methane gas to a contaminated area to cause the indigenous microorganisms to grow consuming the contaminants.
