    Abstract: The rates of degradation of Aliphatic (AHs) and Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments of the Bonny Estuary were investigated. Degradation was enhanced by aerobic condition in the order of treatments 10000ppm>1000ppm>100ppm (AHs), 100ppm>1000ppm>10000ppm (PAHs) than in the anaerobic condition which was in the order 10000ppm>100ppm>10...
