“…Most oil products are toxic for living organisms -fl ora, fauna and also human health. These compounds also negatively infl uence the physicochemical properties of the soil-water environment [8]. Under the infl uence of oil soil gets clumped and the spaces through which air and water are transported close.…”

“…PAHs and their derivatives are produced by the incomplete combustion of organics partly from natural combustion such as forest fire and volcanic eruption, but mostly from anthropogenic emissions like combustion of fossil fuels. [181][182][183][184][185] PAHs are found in water, air, sediment, soil, and food, showing highly toxic, mutagenic and/or carcinogenic effect to both animals and human. 186,187 PCBs are produced in industrial scale and used all over the world through the 1930's to 1980's as cooling/isolation fluids in closed systems like transformer and vacuum pumps, and also as fire retardants for electric/electronic equipment.…”

This article gives a review of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors for food safety and environmental pollution monitoring. It introduces the basic concepts of SERS substrates, SERS enhancement factors and mechanisms, SERS probes/labels, molecular recognition elements as well as optofluidic SERS devices (SERS sensors integrated with microfluidics). This article places an emphasis on the design strategies of various SERS sensors by utilizing fingerprinting SERS spectra or by using SERS probes. It highlights the applications of SERS sensors in detection of heavy metals (such as Hg 2+ , Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ and As 3+ ), inorganic anions (nitrite, nitrate, perchlorate and fluoride), toxic small molecules (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, polychlorinated biphenyls, herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics and food additives), as well as pathogens (bacteria and viruses Food safety and environment pollution are among great challenges in the human society. There are some common pollutants in the environment and food, such as heavy metals, nitrites, phosphates, pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, hormone, pathogens and other additives. Some pollutants initially are released into the environment, and then accumulate in the food chain, and enter human bodies. Uptake of pollutants by human poses a threat to human health to different extents. 1,2Hence it is essential to monitor pollutants in the environment and food. Currently pollutants are typically measured with various laboratorybased techniques, such as atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic fluorescence spectrometry, X-ray fluorescence spectrum, inductively coupled plasma and ion-coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, analytical profile index (API), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).3-7 Although these techniques have high sensitivity and accuracy, they rely on expensive instruments and require professional to treat samples and operate instruments in centralized laboratories. Additionally, analysis generally takes several hours to days. For example, 0.024 ppb of Hg 2+ and 0.023 ppb of As 3+ in drinking water can be detected using atomic absorption spectroscopy with a two-step electrothermal atomizer and hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry, respectively. 8,9 However, they need multiple sample preconcentration processing and expensive instruments. PCR can improve the number of the target while ELISA can produce amplified recognition signal, which could both improve the detection sensitivity to pathogens. For example, oligonucleotide microarray with combination of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots as fluorescent labels shown high specificity and sensitivity of 10 colony forming units (CFU)/mL. 10 However, the complicated procedures are very time-consuming, and the method is also vulnerable to contamination. These laboratory-based techniques cannot meet the critical need of rapid on-site measurement of pollutants. Therefore, it is essential to develop portable sensors f...

“…Because of the mutagenic and carcinogenic potential of some PAHs, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified 16 species of PAHs as priority pollutants. And seven of these PAHs are considered as probable human carcinogens, i.e., benzo[a]anthracene, chryse n e , b e n z o [ a ] p y r e n e , b e n z o [ b ] f l u o r a n t h e n e , benzo [k]fluoranthene, dibenz [a,h]anthracene, and indeno[1,2, 3-cd]pyrene (Ene et al 2012;Tsibart and Gennadiev 2013). Their influences on human health have been caused great concern both by researchers and publics.…”

The concentrations, composition profiles, and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed in 55 surface soil samples collected from four oil fields across China (Daqing, DQ; Shengli, SL; Xinjiang, XJ; and Huabei, HB). The total 16 priority PAHs concentrations of DQ, SL, XJ, and HB ranged from 857 to 27,816; 480 to 20,625; 497 to 43,210; and 12,112 to 45,325 ng/g, respectively, with means of 9160; 6394; 13,569; and 22,954 ng/g and the seven possible carcinogenic PAHs accounted for 8-25.7 % of the total PAHs. Almost all the samples were heavily contaminated, and phenanthrene, chrysene, and pyrene were the most dominant components. The PAH isomeric ratios indicated that PAHs in oil fields mainly originated from petroleum. The toxic assessment illustrated that people living and working in oil fields would suffer low carcinogenic risk, which was somehow coincided with the results of epidemiological survey on cancer incidence. It seems essential to pay more attention to the chronic human health effects of exposure to oil fields and to focus new studies on the public health field that involves a large number of people all over the world.
