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 …

The spilled oil can easily reach the shore zone in the absence of appropriate and timely spill
response tactics. The use of surface washing agents is a feasible tool to treat the affected …

Tropical peatlands store globally significant quantities of carbon and are ecologically and
culturally important, but little is known about their vulnerability to oil and gas exploration and …

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 …

As water pollution poses an increasing risk worldwide, it is timely to assess the
achievements of the aquatic macroinvertebrate ecotoxicology to provide a sound basis for …

The response of freshwater invertebrates following accidental releases of oil is not well
understood. This knowledge gap is more substantial for unconventional oils such as diluted …

The abundance of metal pollutants in freshwater habitats poses serious threats to the
survival and biodiversity of aquatic organisms and human beings. This study intends for the …

Contamination of aquatic ecosystems can have cascading effects on terrestrial consumers
by altering the availability and quality of aquatic insect prey. Comprehensive assessment of …

DNA metabarcoding can provide a high-throughput and rapid method for characterizing
responses of communities to environmental stressors. However, within bulk samples, DNA …

Surface washing agents (SWAs) are a diverse class of oil spill response products intended
to facilitate removal of stranded oil from shorelines. This class of agents has high application …
