Abstract :With increasing industrial activities, pollution also increases and the environment is adversely affected. Especially heavy metal wastes maintain their existence in nature for a long time and seriously pollute the environment. Petroleum-based wastes such as waste oil contain heavy metals and pose a major threat to the environment. In addition to the physical and chemical treatment of heavy metals and other pollutions, more economical biotechnological methods have been developed and applied in recent years. In this thesis, it has been investigated whether soil pollution can be treated by applying effective microorganisms in the treatment of soil sample contaminated with waste oil. It is thought that effective microorganism technology in soil sample containing waste oil containing heavy metals in high concentration is applicable because it is economical. In the study, 80% of the total petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil were removed.
