Report No. 3/16: Using detailed two-dimensional chromatography (GCxGC) analysis of a set of petroleum product samples of Gas Oils, Residual Aromatic Extracts (RAE) and Bitumen categories, PETROTOX predictions have provided information to support revised category...
Report no. 7/15: Toxicity predictions based on laboratory- based Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) tests have been assessed by dosing outdoor stream mesocosms with unmodified and fortified refinery effluents. The tests performed allowed the process effluents to be...
The trend in discharges of petroleum‐related substances from refineries in Europe shows a consistent picture of declining emissions, since first measured in 1969. This decline coincides with enhanced internal capture or recycling procedures and increasing use of...
The Target Lipid Model (TLM) provides a framework for deriving predicted no effect concentrations (PNEC) for non polar organic chemicals to organisms in the environment. This approach has been used to perform environmental risk assessment of individual hydrocarbons as...
Report no. 9/13: This report summarises how light might interact with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) to alter both their environmental fate and their potential to cause adverse effects. The quantification of these changes is complicated due to the...
