1 Field-scale reduction of PCB bioavailability with activated carbon amendment to river sediments. Carbon pyruvate carboxylase Homo sapiens
2 By comparing measured reductions in bioaccumulation of tetra- and penta-chlorinated PCB congeners resulting from field application of activated carbon to a laboratory study where PCBs were preloaded onto activated carbon, it is evident that equilibrium sorption had not been achieved in the field. Carbon pyruvate carboxylase Homo sapiens
3 By comparing measured reductions in bioaccumulation of tetra- and penta-chlorinated PCB congeners resulting from field application of activated carbon to a laboratory study where PCBs were preloaded onto activated carbon, it is evident that equilibrium sorption had not been achieved in the field. Carbon pyruvate carboxylase Homo sapiens
4 Although other remedies may be appropriate for some highly contaminated sites, we show through this pilot study that PCB exposure from moderately contaminated river sediments may be managed effectively through activated carbon amendment in sediments. Carbon pyruvate carboxylase Homo sapiens
