Abstract
When petroleum and chemical wastes are released on soil surface, hydrocarbons adsorb onto the organic mineral matter of the soil. Therefore, soil pollution with oil and chemical components has become an important problem of our days. The chemical and petroleum materials are released into soil environment by various ways such as pipeline blow-out. When the spill occurs, some kind of soil cleanup is typically necessary. The focus of this chapter is on long-term strategies for cleaning up petroleum and chemical products in unsaturated or saturated zones.
