Abstract
⺠Four cyclodextrins (CDs) solutions were tested as soil decontamination tool for PAHs. ⺠Extractions with CDs were higher than with electrolyte, especially with synthetic CDs. ⺠Extraction capacity depends on the adequate size of PAHs and CDs hydrophobic cavity. ⺠2-3 ring PAHs, the more abundant in the soil, were extracted in higher percentages. ⺠CDs extract preferably the less hydrophobic and more potentially toxic PAHs.
