Academic Background The widespread use and improper disposal of chlorinated solvents (such as perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene) have led to severe contamination of soil and groundwater worldwide. These pollutants not only threaten groundwater security but may also affect human health through the food chain. Although traditional microbial red...
