Abstract
A research project was conducted to evaluate enhanced treatment of toxic organic chemicals in soil using deep rooted grasses. Eight types of prairie grasses were evaluated in the treatment of four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a sandy loam soil. The extent of PAH disappearance in vegetated soil was significantly greater than in unvegetated soil.
