Remediation of Soil Contaminated with Diesel Using an Anionic Surfactant (LAS) as an agent. (2)

Environmental pollution as a result of drilling and mining activities in areas where deposits of petroleum and oil are found, proved a great threat to the wellness of the fauna and flora as well as to the humans.
