摘要：Soil contamination with oil spills is the major global concern today. It has a serious hazard to human health,causes organic pollution of ground water which limits its use, causes economic loss, environmental problems anddecreases the agricultural productivity of the soil. To enhance removing crude oil in contaminated soil and water inlaboratory scale several types of assays were performed. We assessed remediation by using bacterial consortiumthrough improving environmental parameters and absorption studies through coir waste. Total petroleum hydrocarbons(TPH)-contaminated soil samples were collected from oil polluted areas in Namakkal and Salem districts. Based on thefirst assessed suitable environmental parameters improve the remediation process up to 78%. The second evaluated theabsorption of oil with coirpith also increases the remediation up to 98% compare to remediation through effectivebacterial consortium (54%).
