Natural attenuation of p-nitrophenol in soil: kinetics, microbial dynamics, and functional gene responses

Context p-Nitrophenol (PNP) is a key intermediate in pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and dye industries, and can significantly disrupt soil ecosystem functions and pose risks to human health through bioaccumulation. The biodegradation behaviour of PNP under natural attenuation and i...
