Report no. 2/20: The report details the outcome of a follow-up project of a study initiated by Concawe in 2013, investigating the occupational exposure to emissions from hot Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) (inhalation exposure to aerosols and vapours) during inland barge loading...
Bioaccumulation (B) assessment is challenging because there are various B-metrics from laboratory and field studies, various criteria and thresholds for classifying bioaccumulative (“B”) and non-bioaccumulative (“nB”) chemicals, and inherent variability and...
Reliable delineation of aquatic toxicity cut-offs for poorly soluble hydrocarbons is lacking. In this study, vapor and passive dosing methods were applied in limit tests with algae and daphnids to evaluate the presence or absence of chronic effects at exposures...
Report no. 15/20: Petroleum substances may contain polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that can interact with sunlight. These interactions can increase hazard, via photo-enhanced toxicity, and reduce exposure, due to photodegradation. These processes are not considered...
Report no. 9/20: This report provides further information on the value of spectral data generated from the Concawe Analytical Program, and provides scientific justification that spectral data provides no additional composition information to that obtained by the other...
