Abstract:Background and Objective: Soil contamination resulting from crude oil spills poses an environmental threat in the Niger Delta Area of Nigeria and the world at large and the remediation of oil-polluted soil is one of the major problems for environmental research. This study investigated the effect of urea as an amendment (remediating material) on soil properties and hydrocarbon reduction in crude oil-contaminated soil at Botem-Tai in Rivers State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A Randomized Complete Block Desi… Show more
