Biological Effects of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil in Surface and Deep Ocean Species [PDF]
Beginning with the use of industrial-strength detergents, dispersing agents have been employed in spill response for decades. The Corexit series of agents in common use today generally consist of non-ionic and/or anionic surfactants in a solvent base ...

Dusty Streets: The Challenge of Dust‐Borne Pollutants in Low‐Income Countries
Generally, pollution impacts developed and low‐income countries (LICs) to different extents, and the disease burden due to roadway dust is not uniformly distributed across socio‐economic classes. Roadway dust materials from paved and unpaved urban and rural roads were reported to contain organic constituents which are toxic and affect public health ...

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

The Ex-Situ Bioremediation Kinetics of Raw and Treated Crude Oil Polluted Soil Using Aspergillus Niger and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa [PDF]
The study was done to investigate the kinetics of first order bioremediation. The effectiveness of remediating soils polluted with raw crude oil and treated crude oil using Aspergillus niger (fungi) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (bacteria) were investigated.
