Aronson, D., Citra, M., Shuler, K., Printup, H., Howard, P. H., Aerobic biodegradation of organic chemicals in environment media: a summary of field and laboratory studies.1999. Provides mean, the range, and individual biodegradation rates under aerobic conditions for common contaminants such as benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylenes (BTEX), naphthalene, benzo(a)anthracene, and other polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Results identify both field and laboratory studies.
Aronson, D. and Howard, P. H. Anaerobic biodegradation of organic chemicals in groundwater: a summary of field and laboratory Studies.1997. Provides mean, the range, and individual biodegradation rates under anaerobic conditions for a range of contaminants such as petroleum, chlorinated hydrocarbon, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, freons, and ketones. Results identify both field and laboratory studies.
