Aromatic compounds comprised by BTEX, PAHs and PCBs belong among the pollutants of concern due to their widespread presence at low concentrations resulting in adverse impact on the food chain and on the human health. Our study is searching for a sensitive correlation between diffuse contamination and catabolic potential in-situ. Bacterial communities are capable to adapt quickly to increased pollution concentrations by increasing their biodegradation potential. Developing of sensitive quantification technique which is detecting minor changes in the concentration of degradation genes could allow a better control of the environmental quality. Examples for application on multiple localities with different types of diffuse pollution are presented
