Hebei Spirit oil spill monitored on site by fluorometric detection of residual oil in coastal waters off Taean, Korea

Stable isotope analysis of a newly established macrofaunal food web 1.5years after the Hebei Spirit oil spill

“…1) which was located 13.5 km from the oil-spill spot was selected as the oil-spill site for this study because it was heavily affected by the HSOS (Kim et al, 2010). The oil concentration in the water column at the oilspill site ranged from 8.84 to 2700 lg L À1 immediately after the HSOS.…”

Robust magnetic polystyrene foam for high efficiency and removal oil from water surface

“…Oil leakage accidents bring us great economic loss and have devastating effects on the marine ecological environment. What's worse, it also has adverse effects on human health [2,3]. Therefore, the oil pollution becomes an urgent problem to be solved, which has important significance to the sustainable development of human and society existence.…”

“…A typical experiment for synthesis of Fe3 O 4 particles coated by oleic acid (OA-Fe 3 O 4 ) was as follows: 30 mg of as-prepared Fe 3 O 4 particles were dispersed into 10 mL of absolute enthanol by ultrasonication for 10 min until forming a black precursor solution. The precursor solution mixed with 1.2 mL of oleic acid was added to the three-neck flask with a mechanical stir for 2 h at room temperature.…”

Effect-directed analysis and mixture effects of AhR-active PAHs in crude oil and coastal sediments contaminated by the Hebei Spirit oil spill

“…On December 7, 2007, the worst oil spill occurred about 10 km off the Taean coast, in Korea, when the tanker Hebei Spirit foundered and released approximately 10,900 tons of crude oil (Hong et al, 2012a(Hong et al, , 2014Yim et al, 2012). Several previous studies indicated that the water quality, bioaccumulation, and benthic community of the Taean coast appeared to be fairly (or almost fully) recovered in five years after the Hebei Spirit oil spill (HSOS) (Hong et al, 2012a;Ji et al, 2011;Jung et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2011Lee et al, , 2013aYu et al, 2013). However, coastal sediments in the vicinity of an oil spill site are subject to a relatively long history of contamination, particularly in semi-closed sheltered areas.…”
