Preparative high performance size exclusion chroma tography (HPSEC) was used to size-
fractionate a humic acid (HA) solution with 0.05 M ionic strength before and after having …

The very high hydrophobicity of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) strongly reduces their
bioavailability in aged contaminated soils, thus limiting their bioremediation. The …
