Directrices para la remediación de los suelos contaminados con hidrocarburos

Abstract

The guidelines for soil remediation include general recommendations for the use of biotechnologies that have demonstrated their ability for sanitation and recovery of soil contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons. Based on a bibliographic review the biological, ecological, economic and social mecha - nisms that sustain a remedial level are explained to allow the selection of the best technology according to the level of contamination. The data required to establish guidelines and mechanisms for selecting remediation of soils con - taminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons are presented in this paper.
