Phytotoxicity of weathered petroleum hydrocarbons in soil to boreal plant species

This study indicates that natural weathering of Fraction 2- and Fraction 3-concentrated soil did not eliminate phytotoxicity to boreal plant species. Furthermore, it builds on the limited existing literature for toxicity of PHCs on boreal plants and supports site remediation to existing Canadian provincial PHC guidelines.PMID:37717802 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2023.117136
