Zusammenfassung:Graphical abstract Highlights ► Stable isotopes provide insights about in situ biodegradation mechanisms and rates. ► Isotopic approaches can be confounded by abiotic processes and heterogeneity effects. ► Isotopic applications are improving with new methods of analysis and modeling. ► Isotopic data are most useful when combined with other approaches for fate assessment.
