“…In a similar experiment Adam and Duncan, (2002) have also demonstrated a mixed species specific response to gas oil contamination. In their experiment diesel fuel oil was used as a contaminant in a series of artificial soil with 89 % sand, 4.9 % silt and 8.4 % clay, and two concentration levels of 25 and 50 g/kg soil.…”

“…An artificial soil was prepared for this experiment containing 85 % sand, 10 % silt and 5 % clay. This light loamy soil provides a suitable substrate for plant growth in phytotoxicity test as has been used by Adam and Duncan (2002), Anoliefo and Vwioko (1995) and avoids anomalies normally associated with natural soils Ghosh and Singh (2005). In order to provide a relatively inert substrate, the artificial soils were placed into autoclave (121°C ) for 30 minutes in two consecutive days.…”

ABSTRACT:Effects of contaminated soil with spent oil on germination, above ground height and biomass of six herbaceous plant species were investigated by conducting a general phytotoxicity test and growth inhibition assessment. Six local plant species were used in order to investigate plant's ability to germinate and survive in a gradient of contaminated soil with spent oil. The species selected for this experiment include one species of Fabaceae (Medicago truncatular), four species of Gramineae (Bromous mermis, Secal seral, Triticum sativa and Agropyron deserterum) and one species of Linaceae (Linum ussitasimum). Inhibitory effect of contaminated soil on germination, height of young seedling and dry weight were measured. In this study an artificial soil with a light texture included 85% sand, 10% silt and 5% clay was used. The exposure to the contaminated soil carried out using four consecutive concentrations (25, 50, 75, 100 g/kg). Results obtained from the current investigation indicate that all species perform dose-dependent responses to the contaminated soils. Reduction in germination, above ground height and biomass for all species were significantly (P < 0.05) different when compared to their controls, however, Medicago truncatular performed the highest and Linum ussitatisimum the lowest inhibitory effect for germination, above ground height and dry weight of seedling.

“…Além disso, na face abaxial desses eofi los, as alterações foram mais intensas, o que deve estar relacionado à presença de compostos voláteis no óleo diesel, como descrito por Adam & Duncan (2002). As alterações anatômicas nas folhas de espécies expostas a contaminação por hidrocarbonetos podem ser variáveis.…”

Efeito do solo contaminado com óleo diesel na estrutura da raiz e da folha de plântulas de Sebastiania commersoniana (Euphorbiaceae) e Schinus terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae) ABSTRACTEff ect of diesel contaminated soil on root and leaf of Sebastiania commersoniana (Euphorbiaceae) and Schinus terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae)). Th e objective of this study was to evaluate whether the diesel contaminated soil alters the structure of the root and eophyll of S. commersoniana (Euphorbiaceae) and S. terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae) seedlings. For each species three treatments with contaminated soil were tested, and compared to a control of uncontaminated soil. Th e treatments diff ered by the time between contaminations and sowing. S. commersoniana was sown 60, 120 and 210 days and S. terebinthifolius 30, 90 and 180 days aft er contamination. Samples of root and eophyll were collected 30 days aft er sowing and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Seedlings of S. commersoniana and S. terebinthifolius, grown in diesel contaminated soil, had their root and eophyll anatomy modifi ed. Th e time interval between contamination and sowing interferes with the soil phytotoxicityl. When greater the time interval between contamination and sowing lower were the anatomical changes. Seedlings of S. terebinthifolius seemed more resistant to contamination than those of S. commersoniana.

“…This interference and the anaerobic and hydrophobic conditions are the most important effect of diesel oil contaminated soil on seed germination and plant growth (Racine 1994;Bona et al 2011). For over two decade, many researchers have reported a lower rate of germination in soil contaminated by petroleum or its derivatives (Adam & Duncan 2002;Vavrek & Campbell 2002;Méndez-Natera et al 2004;Achuba 2006;Smith et al 2006;Sharifi et al 2007;Besalatpour et al 2008;Korade & Fulekar 2009;Njoku et al 2009;Popa et al 2010;Bona et al 2011;Luhach & Chaudhry 2012;Cruz et al 2013;Zarinkamar et al 2013;Hawrot-Paw & Bąkowska 2014;Rusin et al 2015;Shuang et al 2015;Popa & Onutu 2016). Oprescu (2013) has done research on the use of cyclohexanone ketal glycerol as additive for diesel fuels.…”

In this paper there are presented laboratory studies on the influence of additives in diesel fuels on accidental pollution of the soil. The additive used in the experiments was cyclohexanone ketal glycerol. The presence of hydroxyl groups in the structure of ketals of glycerol decreases the solubility of hydrocarbons. To solve this disadvantage and for improving other features, in order to use as additives/ components for classic fuel, the hydroxyl group of glycerol ketal methyl ethyl ketone was block by transesterification with methyl esters of monocarboxylic acids. The results obtained were compared to the content of nutrients (N, P, K) in the soil polluted with diesel fuel additives and diesel oil without additives. It was performed the soils decontamination by applying the method of solvent extraction. For ecological reconstruction there were used unpolluted soil samples, samples contaminated with diesel oil with and without additives and the resulting samples after the extraction with the solvents.
