Aronson, D., Citra, M., Shuler, K., Printup, H., Howard, P. H., Aerobic biodegradation of organic chemicals in environment media: a summary of field and laboratory studies.1999.
Provides mean, ranges, and individual biodegradation rates under aerobic conditions for common contaminants such as benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylenes (BTEX), naphthalene, benzo(a)anthracene, and other polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Results identify both field and laboratory studies.
