Growing concerns over the risk of accidental releases of oil into the marine environment
have emphasized our need to improve both oil spill preparedness and response strategies …

The lack of a conceptual understanding and unifying quantitative framework to guide
conduct and interpretation of laboratory oil toxicity tests, has led investigators to divergent …

The overall cross-media risk evaluation of organic pollutants in retired industrial parks is
insufficiently recognized. In this study, 11 semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and 27 …

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 …

Photooxidation can alter the environmental fate and effects of spilled oil. To better
understand this process, oil slicks were generated on seawater mesocosms and exposed to …

Crude oil spilled at sea is chemically altered through environmental processes such as
dissolution, biodegradation, and photodegradation. Transformation of hydrocarbons to …

Characterizing the nature and effects of oil released into the marine environment is very
challenging. It is generally recognized that “environmentally relevant” conditions for …

Fungal–bacterial consortia enhance organic pollutant removal, but the underlying
mechanisms are unclear. We used stable isotope probing (SIP) to explore the mechanism of …

Crude oil toxicity to early life stage fish is commonly attributed to polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, it remains unclear how the polar unresolved complex …

The hydrocarbonoclastic lineages that have existed for millennia are responsible for the
degradation of diverse aliphatic and aromatic compounds, regulating the ocean …
