© 2016 Elsevier LtdOrganic wastes, such as the organic fractions of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) or sewage sludge (SS), have become a serious environmental problem in Russia as well as in other countries. The use of these ...

In this study content of oil fractions in wastes produced was estimated during oil extraction and transportation. It was demonstrated, that these wastes differ in their fraction content: either aromatic or saturated ...

In this study, influence of "Molnia" insecticide (active agent lambda-cyhalothrin) widely used in Russia and many European countries was investigated. Using several microbial parameters (microbial biomass, basal respiration, ...

We estimated the toxicity of soils artificially contaminated with metals and a pesticide using the Bacillus pumilus dehydrogenase activity (DHase) inhibition test. We found a masking effect of organic matter while testing ...
