A process is disclosed for decontaminating solids or liquids containing organic pollutants, in particular those that are hardly degradable, by means of micro-organisms, in particular those already available on site. Also disclosed is an appropriate agent for carrying out the process. According to this process, one adds one or several times to the contaminated substance an agent that consists of (a) 3 to 26 % by weight pancreatically degraded proteins, (b) 3 to 20 % by weight P2O5- containing, water-soluble phosphates, and (c) a desweetened solution of molasses that contains less than 50 g/l sugar (inverted sugar) and more than 30 g/l nitrogen, as well as vitamins and trace elements, and that makes up the remaining percentage by weight of the agent. This decontamination process may be applied together with organic materials, as a composing process, in earthy substances on site or in biological gardening beds, in an aqueous solution in a fermenter or in a liquid phases. |
