 abstract={The aim of this work is purification of contaminated soil from manufactured gas plants MGP, which arc not used. Prepared chromatographic methodologies, which allow qualitative identification and quantitative determination of individual aliphatic and aromatic (TAH, PAH) hydrocarbons in the soil from the selected MGP, arc presented. The results of the research on remediation of the soil polluted with petroleum hydrocarbons (TAH, PAHs) in semi-field conditions arc discussed. Application of basic biorcmcdiation and bioaugmcntation with indigenous microorganisms, enriched with PAH biodegradable fungi, resulted in reduction in amount of 5- and 6-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The research enables control of remediation progress, selection of optimal doses of biogenie compounds and determines the time of the process. The entire cycle of soil remediation was monitored with the use of gas chromatography (GC). Estimation ofbiodcgradation degree of individual aliphatic hydrocarbons (alkancs) was based on changes in their concentration in the soil and determined by biodegradation indicators: C,/pristanc and C,/phytanc ratios. Attention was paid particularly to biodcgradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which were observed in substantial concentrations in the polluted soil. The elaborated chromatographic methodology of PAH determination in the soil enabled estimation of a biodcgradation rate referring to individual compounds. Moreover, attempts to create a TAH biodcgradation model with the use of C30-l 7a(H),2 l l3(H)-hopanc were undertaken.},
