Oil spill response requires consideration of several countermeasures including chemical
dispersants, but their potential toxicity to aquatic species poses a concern. Considerable in …

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 …

Whether the result of an oil well blowout, vessel collision or grounding, leaking pipeline, or
other incident at sea, each marine oil spill will present unique circumstances and …

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 …

Oil spills of varying magnitude occur every year, each presenting a unique challenge to the
local ecosystem. The complex, changeable nature of oil makes standardised risk …

In the last decade, several methods were applied to monitor the impact of oil pollution on
marine organisms. Recent studies showed an eminent need to standardize these methods …

This study deals with the toxicity assessment of crude and bunker oils representative of
prospective oil spill threats in Arctic and Sub-Arctic seas (NNA: Naphthenic North-Atlantic …

Coral reefs are keystone coastal ecosystems that are at risk of exposure to petroleum from a
range of sources, and are one of the highest valued natural resources for protection in Net …

Aquatic exposures to aromatic compounds (ACs) may be important contributors to biological
effects of oil spills. The present study examined the acute toxicity of 11 ACs and 3 binary AC …

A predominant concern following oil spills is toxicity to aquatic organisms. However, few
data are available on effects in deep‐sea cold water fishes. The present study had 3 major …
