Impact of Oil Spills on Marine Life
Petroleum contamination is a growing environmental concern that harms both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, the public and regulatory and scientific communities have given more attention to the contamination of marine habitats. This is because marine oil spills can have a serious economic impact on coastal activities, as well as on those who exploit the resources of the sea. Thus, c...
متن کاملMicrocosm evaluation of autochthonous bioaugmentation to combat marine oil spills.
Oil spills can be disastrous to any ecosystem. Bioremediation through bioaugmentation (addition of oil-degrading bacteria) and biostimulation (addition of nutrients N&P) options can be a promising strategy for combating oil spills following first response actions. However, bioaugmentation is one of the most controversial issues of bioremediation since nutrient addition alone has a greater effec...
متن کاملPreventing Future Oil Spills with Software-Based Event Detection
O n 20 April 2010, the BP-owned, Transoceanoperated Deepwater Horizon oil-drilling rig exploded, killing 11 workers and injuring 17, and sending massive quantities of crude oil riddled with lethal toxins from the sea floor into the Gulf of Mexico. Geophysicists, Earth-space scientists, and policymakers continue to debate the cause of the explosion, how much oil has been released, how best to co...
متن کاملBioremediation of oil spills
Microbes consumed oil rapidly http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/08/ 110801111752.htm In the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the oil disappeared more rapidly than predicted. This article discusses some of the studies investigating the underlying causes of this rapid biodegradation. Oil spill is boon to bacteria http://classic.the-scientist.com/blog/display/57448/ This ...
متن کاملOil spills abatement: factors affecting oil uptake by cellulosic fibers.
Wood-derived cellulosic fibers prepared in different ways were successfully employed to absorb simulated crude oil, demonstrating their possible use as absorbents in the case of oil spills. When dry fibers were used, the highest sorption capacity (six parts of oil per unit mass of fiber) was shown by bleached softwood kraft fibers, compared to hardwood bleached kraft and softwood chemithermomec...
