Ecological Impacts of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons
2019Contamination of soil and aquatic ecosystems by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) is a serious global issue. The total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) that originate from the distillates of crude oil in the form of diesel, gasoline, lubricating oil, and other typical PHs received much attention globally as contaminants since they are highly toxic, mutagenic ...

An Overview of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons
2019Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) are one of the common contaminants in the environment. They include a broad family of several hundred hydrocarbon compounds that originally come from crude oil which is used to make petroleum products. The widespread use of crude oil and other petroleum products for transportation, heating, and industry leads to the ...

Biodegradation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons from Oily Sludge
Bioremediation Journal, 2011ABSTRACT The present study concerns the biotreatment of oily sludge of petroleum refineries. Experiments were performed to assess the degradation potential of the microbial species present in the oily sludge through augmentation, and using the augmented microbial inoculums to treat oily sludge in a slurry form containing mineral medium and water.

Biosurfactant-enhanced removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons from contaminated soil
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2009A screening method was developed to evaluate the oil removal capability of biosurfactants for oil-contaminated soils collected from a heavy oil-polluted site. The ability of removing total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) from soil by two biosurfactants was identified and compared with that of synthetic surfactants.

Regulatory Guidelines for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contamination
2019The contamination of land with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) is a serious environmental and development issue in many nations. If managed well, it can be an opportunity for urban renewal and development. However, if not managed or remediated, it can pose deleterious effects on public health and the environment. Fortunately, industrialized nations

Benzene and Total Hydrocarbons Exposures in the Downstream Petroleum Industries
AIHAJ - American Industrial Hygiene Association, 2001A review of studies, including both articles published in peer-reviewed journals and reports that were not peer reviewed, regarding occupational exposure to benzene and total hydrocarbons in the downstream petroleum industry operations was performed. The objective was to provide a broad estimate of exposures by compiling exposure data according to the ...

Fate of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in the Environment
2019An oil spill is the release of liquid petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) into the environment, especially the terrestrial (land) and aquatic ecosystems, due to human activities, and is a form of pollution. When the oil is spilled, it normally spreads out and moves in and on the surfaces of spilled sites while undergoing several physico-chemical changes ...

Impact of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons on Human Health
2019Exposure to oil and oil products either directly or indirectly causes severe health issues in humans, and the effects are principally dependent on the nature of contact with the oil spill. Direct exposures include breathing contaminated air (volatile fractions which are emitted as gases) and direct contact with the skin (while walking in contaminated ...

Field Screening Technique for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Soils
Practice Periodical of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste Management, 1997Available field screening tests for petroleum hydrocarbons in soil have addressed petroleum fuels, but not lubricating oils and other petroleum products. However, a new field screening test, Dexsil PetroFLAG, has been developed by the Dexsil Corp., Hamden, Conn., for all types of petroleum hydrocarbons.
