Oil spills represent a major source of negative environmental impacts in marine systems.
Despite many decades of research on oil spill behavior, photochemistry was neglected as a …

Photo-induced toxicity of petroleum products and polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) is
the enhanced toxicity caused by their interaction with ultraviolet radiation and occurs by two …

Previous laboratory studies developed a conceptual model based on elevated non-volatile
dissolved organic carbon (NVDOC) concentrations after photodegradation and subsequent …

Human cell-based test methods can be used to evaluate potential hazards of mixtures and
products of petroleum refining (“unknown or variable composition, complex reaction …

Petroleum products in the environment can produce significant toxicity through
photochemically driven processes. Burning surface oil and photochemical degradation were …

Exposure characterization of crude oils, especially in time‐sensitive circumstances such as
spills and disasters, is a well‐known analytical chemistry challenge. Gas chromatography …

We performed deep metagenomic sequencing on hydrocarbon-degrading marine
microcosms designed to experimentally determine the effect of photo-oxidation on oil …

Oil is frequently released into the environment. Understanding of the fate and impact of oil
spills is still limited, and technologies to mitigate their impacts are insufficient. A er the …
