What Google AI says
Biochar effectively reduces PCB (Polychlorinated Biphenyls) contamination by adsorbing these toxic chemicals, locking them into its porous structure, thereby lowering their bioavailability to organisms and reducing health risks. It works alongside or enhances bioremediation by providing surfaces for beneficial microbes, improving soil quality, and reducing chemical movement, making it a promising, eco-friendly solution for contaminated soils and sediments.
How Biochar Works
- Adsorption: Biochar's high surface area and pores bind strongly to PCBs, preventing them from being absorbed by plants or animals.
