“…The C 27 , C 28 , and C 29 regular steranes in sedimentary hydrocarbons occur in varying proportions depending on their sources. The C 29 ‐steranes are typically associated with higher plant inputs, while higher levels of C 27 ‐sterane are derived from planktonic and algal sources (Huang & Meinschein, 1979; Shirneshan et al., 2017). Volkman (1986) further observed that high amounts of C 28 ‐sterane are common in limnic environments.…”

Peripheral foreland basins, an elongated trough between linear contractional orogenic belts and stable cratons, are developed due to downward flexural subsidence of the cratonic lithosphere driven by thrustsheet loading of the overriding mountain range (DeCelles, 2012;DeCelles & Giles, 1996;Lyon-Caen & Molnar, 1985). The difference in thrust loading across the fold-thrust belt results in the spatial and temporal variation of sedimentation within the foreland basins (DeCelles & Giles, 1996;Flemings & Jordan, 1989;Kumar et al., 2003a;Waschbusch & Royden, 2007). During the initial underfilled stage, sediments from marine and deltaic settings are commonly deposited in the foreland basins. Eventually, in the overfilled stage, the marine deposits are replaced by the fluvial-dominating environments with sediments sourced

“…Pristane/phytane ratios varied from 0.88 to 1.50, with an outlier at 6.67 (FRDJ-SED-2-03A-12), and a mean of 1.30. With the pristane/phytane ratios close to 1.0, pristane (Pr) and phytane (Ph) contributions may be a result of microbial activities in the river (Peters and Walters 2005, Powell 1988, Shirneshan et al 2017, Ten Haven et al 1988). However, the abrupt changes in concentrations of pristane and phytane with an equivocal ratio may also indicate the presence of diffused residual petroleum in limited or degraded form, such as those contained in surface runoff (Hamilton and Cline 1981).…”

The Lower Fox River is a 39 mile section which supports approximately 270,000 rural inhabitants across 18 counties, 303,000 metropolitan residents in Green Bay and Appleton, Wisconsin, and several large industrial complexes such as paper mills and power plants. This paper presents the distribution and concentrations of aliphatic (n-alkanes) and aromatic hydrocarbons (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs]) as well as total organic carbon (TOC) in the Lower Fox River to identify the sources of hydrocarbon contamination. Excluding one outlier, percent TOC values were between 0.73 and 19.9% with an average value of 6.74%. Total n-alkanes ranged from 3.51 μg/g to 117 μg/g and showed a strong presence of odd carbon-numbered n-alkane ratios (range of C25 to C35), suggesting source input from terrestrial biomass. The mean polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentration was 24,800 ng/g. High molecular weight PAH concentrations dominated the distribution of hydrocarbon contaminants. Cross-plots of PAHs were used to compare diagnostic source ratios of benz[a]anthracene (BaA), chrysene (Chr), fluoranthene (Flu), pyrene (Pyr), anthracene (Ant), phenanthrene (Phe), indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene (InP), and benzo[g,h,i]perylene (BghiP) by depth and area. PAH ratios varied slightly with the core depth. Deeper core sections indicated the presence of biomass combustion while the upper core sections indicated combustion of both petroleum and biomass. The PAH toxicity of one core was estimated using toxicity equivalency factors, and the benzo[a]pyrene toxic equivalence quotient totaled 2,293 ng/g-dry wt. Levels of PAHs in sediments are compared with established regulatory values and recommendations are made.

“…The occurrence of petroleum and its' product contamination is not limited to exploration activities but includes poor product handling and spillage. [1][2][3][4][5] These contaminations when not properly handled is often left to enter the food chain and have been proven to have different heights of noxiousness on both man and animals as several metabolic disease conditions have been linked to these contaminants as well. [6][7][8] This trend makes food chain petroleum contamination a high-risk burden in areas where ever crude oil exploration occurs as the breakdown of petroleum hydrocarbons have led to the release of free radical generating compounds and activated oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon metabolites into the cells leading to different types of autoimmune disease conditions often manifested as growth impairment, oxidative stress, diabetes, neurodegeneration, and cancer.…”

Honey 7 and Oil palm leaf powder. 26, 27 The oil palm leaf-a major agricultural waste have been identified to generate large tones of biomass and constitutes a high level of an environmental nuisance when left after the oil palm fruit has been harvested. 28,29 In a bid to contribute to the continual craving for re-use of agricultural waste into useful products; the present study explored the role of various solvent extracts of the oil palm leaf in conferring protection in rats consuming crude oil contaminated diets. Materials and Methods Materials The crude oil (Escravos blend) was obtained from Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company. Harvest of Elaeis guineensis leaves was done at Ovwor Mixed Secondary School Oil palm Plantation in Ughelli, Delta State, Nigeria. This was immediately rinsed with water to remove all traces of sand particles and unwanted debris. The leaf was identified at Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria, Ibadan with a voucher number of F101173. Chemicals of high-quality analytical grade were employed for analysis. Experimental animals Forty (40) mature albino Wistar male rats were purchased from the animal house of the
