Petroleum has been recognized as a potential environmental contaminant since shortly after the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Reports of the biological consequences of ship wrecks involving cargos of crude and fuel oil began to appear in the popular and scientific press. Scientific literature on the subject was sparse until after World War II when reports of the effects of oil pollution be...

Petroleum can disrupt endocrine function in humans and wildlife, and interacts in particularly complex ways with the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, responsible for the release of the stress hormones corticosterone and cortisol (hereafter CORT). Ingested petroleum can act in an additive fashion with other stressors to cause increased mortality, but it is not clear exactly why--does p...

Some 5,800 compounds were isolated and analyzed from 224 sediment and air/water interface samples taken during the Offshore Ecology Investigation. The objective was to characterize the nature and distribution of hydrocarbons and reIated organic substances and to distinguish them from pollution-derived hydrocarbons resulting from petroleum activity in the area. The results of these investigation...
