INTRODUCTION
•One problem with biodegradation is that, in some cases, it can increase toxicity and exposure.
In addition, studies have indicated that carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic compounds
may be incidentally created that are highly detrimental to plants and other microbes
DAL LAKE
Adding oxygen to ground water contaminated by gasoline spills or leaking underground storage
tanks is a common approach for site remediation. Since the late 1980s, it has been known that
adding oxygen to contaminant plumes promotes the aerobic biodegradation of petroleum
contaminants such as gasoline. On the other hand, the addition of oxygen to anoxic ground
water does not always result in increased aerobic biodegradation.
