Abstract

Introduction: Polycyclic  aromatic  hydrocarbons  (PAHs)  are  a  type  of   environmental  pollutants  formed  from  the  incomplete  ignition  of   fossil  fuels,  during  natural  events  or  human  activities;  therefore,  they  are  being  constantly accumulated in the environment. The main way  to  eliminate  these  PAHs  is  by  bioremediation  from the ability of  microorganisms to degrade highly toxic  and  recalcitrant  compounds.  Bioremediation  processes  may  be  intensified  by  implementing enhancers,  which  are  substances  or  compounds  that  support  remediation  techniques  currently  used  to  improve results.

ObjectIve: To describe enhancers implemented in the biological degradation of PAHs from the scientific literature.

Methods: A systematic review of the scientific literature of the past 10 years was conducted. The search was realized on the SpringerLink database and ScienceDirect metase-arch,  the  search  path  (biodegradation  AND  (Polycyclic Hydrocarbons Aromatic OR PHA) AND enhancer AND soil) was used.

Results: 22 articles to develop the systematic review, 15 of Sci-encedirect and 7 of Springerlink were obtained and were complemented  by  one  master’s  thesis  and  one  non-indexed  journal  article.  Different  enhancers,  nature,  uses and percentages of  enhancement of  bioremedia-tion action were described.

Conclusions: The use of  nitrogen and some microorganisms gen-erate an increase in the bioremedial effect of  PHAs.
