Abstract:

Limited mineralization of naphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene in Alabama coastal marsh sediments were observed in the laboratory incubation experiments.

Purpose:

To observe the mineralization of naphthalenes in Alabama marsh sediments.

Data Parameters and Units:

mineralization of 2-methylnaphthalene (14CO2 in %), day (1,2,4,6,8,11,14, 19, 25, 33), cumulative 14 CO2 production for 2-methylnaphthalene biodegradation, first-order degradation rate constants ((k) per day) for 2-methylnaphthalene
