Abstract

Degradation of Bisphenol A (BPA) was studied under laboratory conditions in garden soil. The degradation of 100ppm BPA was carried out in sterile and non-sterile soil samples. It was found that BPA residue was does not progressively degrade with time. More than 65% of BPA was not degraded within 30 days treatment. The degradation was high in non-sterile sample than in sterile sample. Degradation pattern indicated that BPA was reduced by 5% in sterile soil sample, whereas 26.35% was observed in non sterile soil sample at the end of the experiment. The degradation in non sterile soil may be due to the effect of micro organisms and in sterile soil it may due to photochemical reactions.
