It is known that petroleum and its derivatives causes significant pollution in the environment as a result of accidents during the production, transportation and utilization processes. The low boiling compounds and aromatics present in the structure of the petroleum (including PAH and MAH) have toxic and even some carcinogenic effects on living organisms (Aydın et al., 2016). These wastes are not easily biodegradable due to the complex structure and accumulate in the soil which affect the soil structure and reduce the water retention therefore reducing its fertility (Mohan et al., 2011).
