The ecotoxicity approach as a tool for assessing vermiremediation effectiveness in polychlorobiphenyls, polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and furans contaminated soils

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Diversity and abundance of soil fauna has been used as an indicator of anthropogenic impacts on terrestrial ecosystems because they are strictly correlated with physical, chemical, and microbiological soil attributes (Decaƫns et_al, 2004; Eggleton et_al, 2005). Among bioremediation techniques, vermiremediation is found to be a reliable tool, enhancing microbial activity and assisting phytoremediation, which are often adversely affected by low PCDD/F and PCB bioavailability, and supporting plant growth (Aken et_al, 2009; Campanella et_al, 2002; Haimi, 2000; Rodriguez-Campos et_al, 2014). The use of multiple target species, especially if representative of different trophic . . .
