Remediation of Hydrocarbon-Polluted Soil Using Cassava Mill Effluent, Monitored by the Response of Soil Enzymes
Hydrocarbon pollution poses significant threats to soil health by disrupting microbial communities and enzyme activities essential for nutrient cycling. This study examined the potential of cassava mill effluent (CME), as a nutrient-rich organic waste, in enhancing bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon-degraded soil by monitoring its impact on the activities of specific soil enzymes such as urease, phosphatase and dehydrogenase.
