Cold‐adapted Rhodococcus sp. strain R1B_2T from Arctic Tupirvik Beach (Northwest Passage) degrades short‐ to long‐chain hydrocarbons in summer seawater (−1°C to 5°C) via a synergistic activity of key hydrocarbon degradation genes (alkB, CYP153, almA, and ladA), with rhlABCR‐linked rhamnolipid production supporting biodegradation.

The focus on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detection is dictated by the increasing awareness of their impact on human health. In addition, VOCs are increasingly considered novel for early diagnosis of diseases. Among various types of VOC sensor devices, optical detectors play an essential role, offering excellent versatility, fast response time ...

Advanced treatment of wastewater with BTEX
Abstract Standards for concentrations of pollutants in wastewaters discharged to the environment are especially restrictive for BTEX, the compounds which are recognized to be particularly toxic. There is a need to lower the BTEX concentration in the stream coming out of the bioreactor. For this purpose, a high-pressure membrane process was proposed.

BTEX Content of Marine Surface Sediments Used as Indicators of Marine Oil and Gas
A number of studies indicate that the anomaly of BTEX content in core and sediments samples are valuable oil and gas geochemical exploration indicators. This anomaly with high-resolution, high precision was directly related to oil and gas reservoirs.

ABSTRACT Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (o‐, m‐, and p‐xylenes) constitute a family, named BTEX, of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) known for its toxicity. This study aimed to study the acute in vitro toxicity of ethylbenzene and m‐xylene on human bronchial epithelial cells exposed at the air–liquid interface (ALI).

Optimization of Benzene and Toluene Biodegradation by Aspergillus Niger and Phanerochaete Chrysosporium [PDF]
- Benzene and toluene can cause contamination in environments. Utilization of microorganism to degrade these compounds could be favorable approach to discover a convenient biodegradation agent. Fungi have an important role in the degradation of petroleum
