Popis: Transformation kinetics, corrected for abiotic loss and for volatilization, of 14 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds were studied in two nonacclimated soils. Mean volatilization losses for naphthalene and 1-methylnaphthalene were measured as 31% and 22%, respectively, of the total masses applied. Volatilization of the other twelve PAH compounds studied was less than 0.1%. The abiotic loss (1.8–17.4%) of two- and three-ring PAH compounds in soil samples bio-inhibited by 2% HgC1\d2 was statistically significant (p
