Bioavailability of naphthalene sorbed to cationic surfactant-modified smectite clay
Article Abstract:
A study has been conducted to examine the sorption-desorption behavior of nonionic inorganic contaminants such as naphthalene with cationic surfactant-modified smectite clay. Results revealed that modified soil or clay increases the bioavailability of sorbed naphthalene and the degradative power of soil bacteria.

Residual petroleum in sediments reduces the bioavailability and rate of reductive dechorination of Aroclor 1242
Article Abstract:
Residual petroleum components in sediment provide for a sorptive phase that lowers the concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and reduces the rate of dechlorination and the bioavailability of PCBs.
