Oil fate and exposure modeling addresses the complexities of oil composition, weathering,
partitioning in the environment, and the distributions and behaviors of aquatic biota to …

Laboratory preparation of aqueous test media is a critical step in developing toxicity
information needed for oil spill response decision-making. Multiple methods have been …

During toxicity testing, chemical analyses of oil and exposure media samples are needed to
allow comparison of results between different tests as well as to assist with identification of …

Standardized oil toxicity testing is important to ensure comparability of study results, and to
generate information to support oil spill planning, response, and environmental …

Application of oil toxicity modelling for assessing the risk of spills to coral reefs remains
uncertain due to a lack of data for key tropical species and environmental conditions. In this …

Laboratory toxicity testing is a key tool used in oil spill science, spill effects assessment, and
mitigation strategy decisions to minimize environmental impacts. A major consideration in oil …

Abstract The Chemical Response to Oil Spills: Ecological Effects Research Forum
(CROSERF) created a standardized protocol for comparing the toxicity of physically …

Accidental crude oil spills to the marine environment cause dispersion of oil into the water
column through the actions of breaking waves, a process that can be facilitated using …

Photochemical processes are typically not incorporated in screening-level substance risk
assessments due to the complexity of modeling sunlight co-exposures and resulting …
