The present invention is directed to a method for the safe and efficient degradation of Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in PCB contaminated soil into non-hazardous by products. The method comprises adding a culture containing at least six strains of microorganisms capable of degrading PCBs to PCB contaminated soil, mixing the soil and microorganism culture together and maintaining the culture under stringent conditions which promote the growth of the microorganisms and which stimulate the ability of the microorganisms to degrade the PCBs. The method is cost efficient and well suited for decorating soil on a large scale commercial basis.

La présente invention comporte une méthode pour la dégradation sûre et efficace des biphényles polychlorés (BPC) dans les sols contaminés par les BPC, pour les transformer en des produits non dangereux. Cette méthode prévoit l'ajout d'une culture contenant au moins six souches de micro-organismes capables de contribuer à la dégradation des BPC dans les sols contaminés. Le sol et la culture de micro-organismes sont mélangés ensemble, et la culture est maintenue dans des conditions rigoureuses favorisant la croissance des micro-organismes et stimulant leur capacité à dégrader les BPC. Cette méthode est rentable et convient bien aux sols décoratifs du point de vue commercial à grande échelle.
