Abstract
Human activities play a significant role in affecting soil alterations. Alterations in land structureand utilization methods accurately reflect the socio-economic progress in each region. The driveto meet the livelihood needs of human populations is a key determinant of the degree of landdegradation. This pertains not only to improper crop selection but primarily to heavy metalpollution, sewage, waste disposal, and unregulated leakage of petroleum substances. The objectiveof this study was to identify a suitable method for reclaiming soil contaminated with petroleumsubstances based on its type. Types of soils used for testing include brown soil, humus, loamysand, clay, Vistula sand and loess. To conduct the experiments, various petroleum derivatives wereprepared, including gasoline, diesel oil, heating oil, hydraulic oil and used engine oil. It was foundthat soils like clay and loess are highly resistant to the penetration of petroleum substances intotheir structures. Also we noticed that soil contaminated with used engine oil exhibited the highestlevel of contamination, necessitating several reclamation operations such as liming.
