Science Project - II

Soil contamination by hydrocarbons

Hypothesis

Oil absorbing polymers can effectively rehabilitate soil contaminated with motor oil and render the soil suitable for growth. Seeds will geminate in the rehabilitated soil that has been treated with oil absorbing polymers.

Science Project - I

Absorption of Pollutants in Different Soil Types

PURPOSE
The purpose of this experiment was to determine which polypedon  (type of soil) was most absorbent of liquid pollutants.
The information gained from this experiment will benefit farmers, gardeners and botanists who have soil pollution problems to better understand absorbency in different types of soil
