“…PHs are highly toxic to living organisms and produce toxicity symptoms in plant, microbes, earthworms and other soil biota [6][7][8]. Some of PHs are known to cause genotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, immuno-toxicity and carcinogenicity in animals and human beings [9,10]. Therefore, the removal of PHs from the contaminated environment is crucial for the safety of ecosystem and human health [11].…”

Contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) is a great threat to environment due to the higher persistence and bio-toxicity of PHs. Therefore, removal of PHs from contaminated environment and strategies to reduce their toxic effects on living organisms are crucial for environmental safety and human health. The toxic effects of PHs from the polluted soil can be reduced by the addition of microbes and biochar. In this study, a pot trial was carried out to evaluate the effects of sugarcane bagasse (SB) biochar and Bacillus sp. MN54 addition on phytoremediation of PHs and growth of maize (Zea mays L.) in soil artificially contaminated with diesel. Maize seeds were sown in uncontaminated or contaminated (with PHs) soil, treated with biochar and Bacillus sp. MN54. The results revealed that PHs showed significant phytotoxicity to maize plants and the application of strain MN54 and biochar greatly reduced the toxic effects of PHs on plants growth and physiology by increasing the nutrients uptake in PHs contaminated soil. Interestingly, the phytotoxicity of PHs on maize plants was further reduced in the co-supplementation of strain MN54 and biochar. Plants physiological (25–48%) and agronomic (38–47%) attributes were significantly higher as compared to only PHs contaminated soil in the co-supplementation of strain MN54 and biochar. Similarly, nitrogen (41%), phosphorus (43%) and potassium (37%) concentrations were also increased in the co-supplementation of strain MN54 and biochar. Furthermore, maize plants successfully phytoremediate a considerable amount of PHs from soil particularly in the presence of strain MN54 and biochar, and this PHs removal was further enhanced in the co-supplementation of strain MN54 and biochar (i.e., 46% and 77% of initial PHs were removed in unplanted and planted treatments, respectively). The present results indicate that co-supplementation of biochar and Bacillus sp. MN54 could be effective in enhancing the degradation of PHs and improving plant growth in the hydrocarbons contaminated soil.

“…Several assessments have shown that TPH influences inorganic parameters of water such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, total solids, and turbidity already reported [7,10]. A higher amount of these petroleum chemicals reacts physiochemically and biologically across environmental matrices leading to the production of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), micro particulates, and sediments triggering a high risk of bioaccumulation in humans that may result in mental, genetic, immune, endocrine-disruption, respiratory, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects [11,12]. Previous studies have focused on TPHs in soil and sediment, aquatic species, and marine sources [13,14,15], while polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) in soils and surface water of the region has received voluminous literature [16,17] and consistently proved the negative impact to flora and faunas of the study area by organic emissions from various activities previously enumerated above, however, we are not aware of any literature evidence of TPH via atmospheric rainwater deposition in Nigeria, this forms the basis of our research.…”

Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs)-(aliphatic and aromatic) were analysed for in atmospheric rainwater between April- June; July – August; September–October depicting early, mid, late rain of 2019. Sampling at Rumuodomaya/ Rumuodome and Ogale in Rivers State using basins fastened to a table 2 M above ground and 120 M from high features, Rainwater was analysed after treatment using Agilent GC-FID. Results show cumulative TPHs at R/R were 56.6551mg/L, 39.5201mg/L and 7.2283mg/L, Ogale: 9.1217mg/L, 59.4923mg/L and 21.9825mg/L. Aliphatic hydrocarbons: C5 – C8 were < 1, low contamination, other carbon aggregates (C9 – C16, C17– C35, and C36 – C40) indicate high contamination. Chemometric assessment showed high contamination. TPHs aggregates at Rumuodomaya/ Rumuodome were- C8 – C11 (1.034 and 1.005) early rain, C18 – C25 and C26 – C33 has Carbon preference index of 1.287 and 1.630 (mid-rain), C26 – C33 has CPI of 1.288 (late-rain), Ogale area, C26–C33 has CPI of 1.732 (early-rain), mid-rain C8 – C11 (2.768) and C12–C17 (5.368). Pristane/phytane ratio indicated biogenic and pyrogenic sources. Average carbon length of TPHs for odd n-alkanes were C9 – C11 (9.446) and C35 – C39 (38.980), C9 – C11(10.238), C35 – C39 (36.510); C9 – C11 (10.240) and C35 – C39 (36.934). Average daily intake depicted possible health issues for children and adults as hazard index > 1 for aromatics.

“…Hydrocarbons such as petroleum and diesel have been the ultimate source of energy. Thus, incidents such as accidental spills during transportation, accidental leakage, and disposal of gasoline and diesel fuel into the environment can cause severe contamination to our environment and affect human health (Kuppusamy, Maddela, Megharaj & Venkateswarlu, 2020). The burning of PAH can cause air pollution as it feeds more carbon into our atmosphere and can evaporate into the air straight from soil or from water bodies.…”

“…Diesel oil is a complex and significant source of PAH that usually contributes to human health. Some of the effects include jaundice, cataracts, which can cause toxicity to genetic, immune, and endocrine systems (Kuppusamy et al, 2020). PAH has been recognized as a carcinogenic and a potential cause of Squalen Bull.…”

Marine contamination caused by anthropogenic activities has side effects and causes severe contamination to the environment. Polychaetes are benthic organisms that live in the sediment and can be a good indicator of sediment contamination by organic compounds. In this study, bacterial strains were isolated and identified from the gut of polychaete worm Marphysa moribidii and the potential of the bacteria was evaluated to degrade hydrocarbon compounds. The isolated bacteria were primary and secondary screened on Minimal Salt Media (MSM) agar supplemented with 1% v/v of diesel oil. Diesel degradation analysis was performed by inoculating potential bacterium into MSM broth with 1% v/v diesel oil and incubated at 37 oC for 20 days. Diesel degradation percentage was analyzed using the gravimetric method, while the bacteria cell densities were measured using the standard plate count method. Then, the selected isolates were identified based on their morphological characteristics and 16S rDNA sequences. As a result, two bacteria isolates coded as Isolate 6 and Isolate 8 were able to degrade diesel oil up to 52.29% and 39.24% after 20 days of incubation. The 16S rDNA sequence analysis revealed that it was identified as Bacillus sp. strain UMTFA1 (RB) and Staphylococcus kloosii strain UMTFA2 (RS). Our result showed that these strains have the potential in oil-degrading processes, which will provide new insight into bioremediation process and decrease environmental pollution in soil and water contaminated with hydrocarbons.
