Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon ( TPH ) are environmental contaminants that are released into the marine environment through oil spills, industrial and domestic activities. TPH are readily transformed into more hydrophilic metabolites, which are accumulated in bile. Thus fish bile can be used as a biomarker of exposure of fish to TPH in the marine environment. in this study several stations were se...

In this work, a new electrokinetic remediation technology was used to remove heavy metal and hydrocarbon from contaminated soil. The surfactant combined with PASP (Polyaspartic acid) enhance removing Electric current, soil pH, electroosmotic flow, water content variation, removal efficiency residual distribution, speciation, of TPH (total petroleum hydrocarbons), group composition oil, mechanis...

This study was carried out to evaluate the biostimulant potentials of Capra aegagrus hircus manure for bioremediation of crude oil contaminated soil (COCS) under tropical conditions. 1 kg of COCS sample was amended with 0.02 kg of C. a. hircus manure and monitored at 14-day intervals for total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), nutrient content, and changes in microbial counts. At the end of the stud...

INTRODUCTION — Hydrocarbons are organic substances that contain carbon and hydrogen; they are liquid at room temperature [1] . All petroleum distillates (eg, kerosene, gasoline, mineral seal oils, and naphtha) are hydrocarbons; however, not all hydrocarbons are petroleum distillates. Hydrocarbons also often are mixed with agents that have systemic toxicity such as camphor, aniline dyes, heavy m...

Total organic carbon (TOC), black (BC), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), polycyclic aromatic (PAH) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) were determined in 73 surface (0-2 cm) subsurface (5-20 soil samples taken from a 142 km2 area Central London, UK. Soils assessed to provide baseline chemistry for site owners, developers, occupiers regulators involved understanding the potential risk human h...

Currently, petroleum hydrocarbons are the most abundantly used chemicals in the world. Manufactured from crude oil, petroleum hydrocarbons are found in gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil, asphalt, and even some chemicals used in home or at work. Almost every person on this planet has once or more used a petroleum product or byproduct. Due to their wide de mand, they are transported all over the world...
