Oil Uptake Via Marine Snow: Effects on Blue Mussels (Mytilus Sp.)
Accidental oil spills into the ocean can lead to downward transport and settling of oil onto the seafloor as part of marine snow, as seen during the Deepwater Horizon incident in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico. The arctic and subarctic regions may favor conditions leading to this benthic oil deposition, prompting questions about the potential impacts on ...

Some physical and mechanical properties of maritime pine and poplar exposed to oil-heat treatment
Oil-heat treatment is an environmentally friendly method to improve dimensional stabilization of wood. In this process, vegetable oil is used as a heating medium in different temperatures and times. In this study, maritime pine (Pinus pinaster marittima)
