Hydrocarbons
What are hydrocarbons?
MycoMine uses fungal-based biodegradation to break down hydrocarbons at a molecular level. Selected strains produce enzymes that degrade complex chains into simpler compounds, which are further converted into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass—enabling on-site, low-energy, complete remediation.
Sources & occurrence
Hydrocarbon pollution typically occurs at oil extraction sites, refineries, storage terminals, and industrial facilities. Spills, leaks, and improper waste handling can lead to contamination of soil and water, especially in legacy industrial areas.
Environmental & health impact
Hydrocarbons can degrade soil quality, contaminate water sources, and harm ecosystems. Some compounds are toxic and persistent, limiting land usability and posing risks to human health.
