This work presents results of the development of a tool to aid in evaluation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) bioremediation possibilities through the development of a computer program based on the susceptibility of PCB congeners to undergo bacterial transformation. The mathematical model also incorporates data from literature to estimate the effects on humans. The tool may prove effective in choosing remediation strategies for anaerobic dechlorination and aerobic degradation of PCBs determined by the initial PCB mixture in the contaminated matrix.
