• TITLE: Effect of Petroleum Products on Soil Catalase and Dehydrogenase Activities

  AUTHORS: Fidelis Ifeakachuku Achuba, Patrick Nwanze Okoh

  KEYWORDS: Catalase Activity, Dehydrogenase Activity, Kerosene, Diesel, Engine Oil, Petrol

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Soil Science, Vol.4 No.12, December 5, 2014

  ABSTRACT: The effect of refined petroleum products on the activities of selected enzymes (catalase and dehydrogenase) was studied. There was a significant decrease (p kerosene > diesel > engine oil. However, a significant increase (p diesel > petrol > engine oil. On the whole the results reveal that refined petroleum products alter soil biochemistry.
