The dataset describes physical and chemical properties of soils used in the study, removal efficiencies of PAHs, changes of microbe counts in soil after oxidation treatments, and concentrations of total PAHs in soil after oxidation treatments. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Liao, X., Z. Wu, Y. Li, H. Cao, and C. Su. Effect of various chemical oxidation reagents on soil indigenous microbial diversity in remediation of soil contaminated by PAHs. CHEMOSPHERE. Elsevier Science Ltd, New York, NY, USA, 226: 483-491, (2019).

The data associated with the journal article are based upon a series of laboratory experiments on PAH-contaminated soils including: 1) Physical and chemical peoperties of soils used in the study; Removal efficiency of coal gas plant soil (G) of PAHs for different chemical oxidants (%); Removal efficiency of coking plant soil (C) of PAHs for different chemical oxidants (%); 2) Changes of microbe counts in soil G under different treatment conditions; Changes of microbe counts in soil C under different treatment conditions; Concentration of total PAHs in soil G under various oxidations; Concentration of total PAHs in soil C under various oxidations.
