Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleTotal Petroleum Hydrocarbons By Gas Chromatography in Colombian Waters and SoilsC.. González, S. Roa, A. Suspes et al.Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs) were required by the Colombian Environmental Authorities. However, the great diversity of hydrocarbon sources, in addition to the variety of available techniques and analytical methods had created confusion among the users of the data in regards to the appropriate methodologies. This study presents the results obtained in the method validation for the determination of TPHs in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 20 Jun 2012 · 9,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHydrocarbons in Soil from Basra Oil-Rich GovernorateAli Abdul Al-Zahra Douabul, Wisam Abdul Ameer Farid, Hamid Talib Al-Saad, Sama Sameer AlMaarofiBasra is a rich-oil region; its soil is expected to be contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. However, there is no previous study that has estimated the levels of hydrocarbons in Basra soil. After 2003 numerous operations by several international oil companies are underway. Therefore, the determination of background levels of petroleum hydrocarbons is a priority from environmental point of view. The … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 18 Sep 2012 · 7,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPetroleum Hydrocarbon Pollution of Mangrove Swamps: The Promises of Remediation by Enhanced Natural AttenuationF. A. Orji, A. A. Ibiene, O. C. UgboguProblem statement: The Remediation by Enhanced Natural Attenuation (RENA) is currently being used as a cleanup technology in polluted environments in the Niger Delta and other parts of the globe. The effectiveness of RENA as a remediation technology in the most recent time has been challenged by few authorities. The deleterious effects of pollutants on the environment have led to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 12 May 2012 · 8,225 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Concerns and Toxicogenetic Endpoints of Priority Substances (PSs) and Contaminants of Emerging Concerns (CECs): A Comprehensive ReviewDe-Sheng Pei, Chun-Di Chen, Naima Hamid et al.Priority Substance (PSs) and Contaminant of Emerging Concerns (CECs) exhibited a wide range of environmental and public health concerns worldwide. This review summarized the documented studies related to the current surface water occurrence, spatial distribution, ecological risks and toxicity of selected PSs, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and CECs, such as Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) and Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 10 Jul 2018 · 8,389 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuses Running on GasRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.Today, the transport problem is not only very diverse and complex but also highly disputed in terms of the optimal way of achieving modern and ecological transports. The energy and social crisis that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, which then haunted the planet repeatedly, becoming a major crisis, could be successfully avoided by postponing and reprogramming until mankind managed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2018 · 7,532 accessesView PDFCite
