Review on Burn Residues from In Situ Burning of Oil Spills in Relation to Arctic Waters

摘要: In situ burning is a method by which oil burned at spill site under controlled conditions, and this subject to increased interest due its applicability in the Arctic. This paper reviews literature regarding characterization environmental effects of burn residues Arctic waters. The results systematic search indicate that only very limited number studies have arctic pertinence. From review, it also indicated properties composition depend on efficiency type. Furthermore, within frame reach consensus may increase concentrations large poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs; high ring number) while reducing small PAHs (low number). There are few toxicity aquatic organisms, enhance knowledge base, more organisms as well types must be studied. there lack investigating potential effect sinking benthic organism smothering viscous birds other related sea surface.
