Being cost-effective, synthetic materials were initially used abundantly for the removal of oil.
Gradually, however, awareness of the use of dispersants like Corexit, which makes water …

The threat of environmental pollution caused by spilled oil is rapidly increasing along with
the expansion of oil exploration, the development of maritime activities and industrial growth …

Abstract The Deepwater Horizon oil spill constituted an ecosystem-level injury in the
northern Gulf of Mexico. Much oil spread at 1100–1300 m depth, contaminating and …

Dispersants provide a reliable large-scale response to catastrophic oil spills that can be
used when the preferable option of recapturing the oil cannot be achieved. By allowing even …

Birds are vulnerable to petroleum pollution, and exposure has a range of negative effects
resulting from plumage fouling, systemic toxicity, and embryotoxicity. Recent research has …

We use a spatially explicit biogeochemical end-to-end ecosystem model, Atlantis, to
simulate impacts from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and subsequent recovery of fish …

Cohesive particles in aquatic systems can play an important role in determining the fate of
spilled oil via the generation of Oil-Mineral Aggregates (OMAs). Series of laboratory …

The probability of major oil accidents in Arctic seas is increasing alongside with increasing
maritime traffic. Hence, there is a growing need to understand the risks posed by oil spills to …

The major battle that the human civilization is facing in the present era is regarding pollution;
one of a serious threat among these pollutions is the contamination of water bodies due to …

Two separate approaches, a carcass sampling model and an exposure probability model,
provided estimates of bird mortalities of 600000 and 800000, respectively, from the 2010 …
