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 کاملMarinobacter sp. from marine sediments produce highly stable surface-active agents for combatting marine oil spills
BACKGROUND The application of chemical dispersants as a response to marine oil spills is raising concerns related to their potential toxicity also towards microbes involved in oil biodegradation. Hence, oil spills occurring under marine environments necessitate the application of biodispersants that are highly active, stable and effective under marine environment context. Biosurfactants from ma...
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 کاملEstimating Cleanup Costs for Oil Spills
The factors that affect cleanup cost are complex and interrelated. Each spill involves a unique set of circumstances that determine cleanup cost. Estimating a universal per-unit cleanup cost is essentially meaningless without taking into consideration factors such as location and oil type, which can profoundly influence costs. This paper examines the host of factors that impact cleanup cost in ...
