1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) is a nematocide, which has been used extensively as a soil fumigant in agriculture. Since sterility was found among male workers involved in the manufacture of DBCP, great concern has been focused on the genetic hazards of DBCP.

We tested the hypothesis that the H(2)-based membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) is capable of reducing multiple oxidized contaminants, a common situation for groundwater contamination. We conducted bench-scale experiments with three groundwater samples collected from California's San Joaquin Valley and on
