Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrations of volatile liquid hydrocarbons (VLH), C 6- C 14 hydrocarbons, were determined in coastal, shelf and open ocean surface waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Open ocean, non-petroleum polluted surface water VLH concentration were ~60 ng/1 while heavily polluted Louisiana shelf and coastal values reached ~500 ng/1. Caribbean surface samples had unusually low concentrations of ~30ng/1. An approximate linear relationship was shown to exist between anthropogenic gaseous hydrocarbons and VLH. Aromatic VLH accounted for 60-85% of the total VLH in surface waters. Cycloalkane concentrations were

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive volume follows up and expands on an earlier National Academy of Sciences book. It is the result of an intensive multidisciplinary effort to assess the problems relating to petroleum-derived hydrocarbons in the marine environment. Specifically, it examines the inputs, analytical methods, fates, and effects of petroleum in the marine environment. The section on effects has been expanded significantly, reflecting the extensive scientific effort put forth in determining the effects of petroleum on marine organisms. Other topics discussed include petroleum contamination in specific geographical areas, the potential hazards of this contamination to human health, the impact of oil-related activities in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and the potential impact of petroleum on fisheries.

This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fate and Effects of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Marine Organisms and Ecosystems is a collection of papers presented at the international symposium by the same title, held at the Olympic Hotel in Seattle, Washington on November 10-12, 1976. This book is organized into three parts encompassing 46 chapters. Part I deals with the inputs and physical transport processes influencing the distribution and composition of petroleum hydrocarbons in marine systems. Part II discusses the bioaccumulation and metabolism of hydrocarbons by marine organisms. Part III contains papers that tackle the biological and ecological effects of petroleum exposure in marine systems. This book is of great value to marine and environmental scientists and researchers.

Download or read book The Effects of Dispersants on Incorporation of Volatile Liquid Hydrocarbons Into the Water Column written by JM. Brooks and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was conducted to assess the effect of dispersants on the incorporation of volatile liquid hydrocarbons (C5-C14) into the water column from surface oil slicks. A laboratory tank was used to vary a number of parameters including oil type, dispersant type, time of dispersant application, wind speed, and temperature. Water samples removed from an underwater sampling port indicated that the light aromatics (e.g., benzene to xylene) were the dominant compounds introduced into the water from dispersed oil. At lower temperatures a decreased amount of volatile liquid hydrocarbons (VLH) was incorporated into the water column because of the lower solubility. Wind speed had little effect on the amount of VLH incorporated into the water column within the experimental design. The chemical and physical properties of the oil exerted important influences on the type and concentration of VLH detected in the water column. The more viscous the oil, the less the dissolution of VLH. Immediate application of dispersant introduced the greatest amount of VLH into the water column. If the oil was weathered for 24 h only small amounts of VLH were incorporated into the water column. A comparison of dispersants Corexit® 9527 and 7664 indicated that 9527 was most effective in accelerating VLH incorporation into the water column.
