Abstract
Sewage sludge-amended soils containing indigenous and spiked petroleum hydrocarbons (gas-oil and lubricating oil) were monitored for aliphatic hydrocarbons weathering. Results indicated that n-alkanes were lost by abiotic and biotic processes, the former being more important for the short-chain alkanes. Their half-lives were from 2.7 to 5.9 days, depending on the initial concentration.
