1. Geochemical Investigation of Tar Balls Collected in a Brazilian Beach Using Biomarkers, Ni/V, δ13C Ratios and Ultra-High Resolution FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry
Representative tar balls collected in two distinct years (2012 and 2014) in a beach along the State of Bahia, northeastern Brazil, were geochemically characterized in order to identify correlations between them and investigate potential sources. Terpanes and steranes biomarkers (detected by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, GC-MS), carbon stab

2. Sorbent system based on acetylated microfibrillated cellulose for remediation of oil aquatic environments
ABSTRACT The growth of oil exploration and transport in marine environments brings concern over potential environmental disasters caused by oil spills. Thus, various materials are being developed and studied in order to minimize environmental impacts caused by these oil spills. Among these materials, the use of sorbents has appeared as a great potential tech

3. Characterization of dioxygenases and biosurfactants produced by crude oil degrading soil bacteria
ABSTRACT Role of microbes in bioremediation of oil spills has become inevitable owing to their eco friendly nature. This study focused on the isolation and characterization of bacterial strains with superior oil degrading potential from crude-oil contaminated soil. Three such bacterial strains were selected and subsequently identified by 16S rRNA gene sequen

4. Small-scale experimental contamination with diesel oil does not affect the recolonization of Sargassum (Fucales) fronds by vagile macrofauna
Coastal regions are subject to various forms of environmental impacts, such as spills of crude oil and associated products, with a wide range of effects on benthic biodiversity. This study characterized the patterns of recolonization of the macrofauna associated with the brown alga Sargassum cymosum(C. Agardh), on fronds contaminated by diesel oil in a small

5. Ecologia e Conservação de Tartarugas Marinhas Através da Análise de Encalhes no Litoral Paraibano
Five sea turtle species use the Brazilian coast for reproduction and feeding: loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), green turtle (Chelonia mydas), leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), olive turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) and hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata). These species are included in the threatened categories, as much globally, according to

6. Caracterização batimétrica e fisicooceanográfica do canal de acesso ao porto de Cabedelo/PB: uma análise ambiental ao derrame de óleo
The State of Paraíba is one of the most dynamic states of Brazil, strategically located in the northeast, is notable for the excellent potential for integration of different transportation modes forming the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco and Alagoas. The dynamic that occurs with port activity causes changes in the space where it is installed. And

7. RemoÃÃo de BTEX em SoluÃÃo Aquosa por AdsorÃÃo usando ZeÃlita SintÃtica Modificada. / Removal of BTEX in aqueous solution by adsorption using synthetic zeolite modified.
BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes) are organic compounds of particular concern due to their toxicity. BTEX occur in the environment as products of incomplete oxidation of fossil fuels, thus polluting the atmosphere. Also, the disposal of industrial effluents, oil spills, and fuels leaks at gas stations are sources of BTEX contamination in soil

8. Genotoxic effects of the diesel water-soluble fraction on the seahorse Hippocampus reidi (Teleostei: Syngnathidae) during acute exposure
The high toxicity of diesel components makes oil spills a threat to the biota in coastal marine environments. The genotoxic effect of the diesel water-soluble fraction (DWSF) on Hippocampus reidi (Ginsburg, 1933) was assessed. Fish were exposed to three different DWSF dilutions for up to 96 hours, and genotoxicity was analyzed using the micronuclei test and

9. Numerical model of oil spill as an environmental management method in contingency plan, applied to São Sebastião channel (SP). / Modelagem numérica do comportamento de derrames de óleo como método de gestão ambiental, em planos de contingência, aplicada ao canal de São Sebastião (SP).
The application of numeric models for analysis of oil spill in the coastal environments becomes one of the most important ways to understand the behavior of the oil in this case of impact, giving subsides to the prediction of the displacement of the patches and allowing best efficiency in the control of the extension of the impact agent. These assumptions gi

10. Parâmetros texturais de sedimentos para elaboração de Cartas de Sensibilidade Ambiental ao Derramamento de Óleo - Cartas SAO / Sediment Texture Parameters for Elaboration of Environmental Sensitivity Index Maps for Oil Spills. ESI maps
Oil spills have resulted in increased awareness among government and private agencies regarding studies and techniques to minimize damages caused by this type of accident to environmental and socio-economic resources. The development of techniques and the studies for prevention and response to accidents is intended to achieve greater effectiveness in dealing

11. Hidrocarbonetos policíclicos aromáticos no meio ambiente: diferenciação de fontes em sedimentos e metabólitos em bile de peixes
Many studies on environmental ecosystems quality related to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) have been carried out routinely due to their ubiquotus presence worldwide and to their potential toxicity after its biotransformation. PAH may be introduced into the environmet by natural and anthropogenic processes from direct runoff and discharges and indirec

12. EVALUATION OF THE OIL CONTAMINATION OF THE ESTUARINE ENVIRONMENT OF THE GUANABARA BAY (RJ) BY THE FLUOROMETRIC DETERMINATION OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAHS) IN THE MUGIL LIZA FISH BILE / AVALIAÇÃO DA CONTAMINAÇÃO DE ÓLEO NO AMBIENTE ESTUARINO DA BAÍA DE GUANABARA (RJ) PELA DETERMINAÇÃO FLUORIMÉTRICA DE HIDROCARBONETOS POLICÍCLICOS AROMÁTICOS (HPAS) NA BÍLIS DE PEIXES MUGIL LIZA
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in the environment. The main source of contamination is antropogenic, and oil spills are one of the main PAHs sources for the aquatic environment. This work evaluates the usage of PAH metabolites in fish bile (Mugil liza) as biomarkers in the aquatic environment. For this evaluation two distinct areas we
