Application of Separol NF.36 and Servo C.6602 inhibited ammonfication as shown by the increase in NH₄⁺-Nlevels in the treated soil above the untreated control, though not significantly. A demulsifier concentration of 1000 ppm inhibited ammonfication most, as shown by the high level of NH₄⁺-N, while a 25 ppm concentration showed the least adverse effect on NH₄⁺-N reduction in the contaminated soils. Separol NF.36 and Servo C.6602 at the concentrations used did not result in the complete inhibition of nitrification rates.

Effectiveness and dispersed oil droplet size distributions in the different test methods have been studied and an attempt has been made to develop correlation or mathematical models of the chemical dispersion phenomena. This mathematical treatment helps to explain the reasons that the tests give different results, but it is concluded that, at present, our understanding of the basic dispersion phenomena is not sufficient to form a basis for a reliable model.

Aboveground biomass, plant species composition, pH and salinity were measured to determine if the produced water discharge in each marsh was related to differences in plant response. Of the three marshes investigated, only one of the brackish marshes exhibited significantly lower live aboveground biomass at the site receiving produced waters compared to its adjacent reference site. Although interstitial salinities were significantly higher at the treatment site of this brackish marsh, the salinity difference between treatment and reference sites was only 1·5 ppt in a marsh with a mean salinity of 11·9 ppt. This salinity difference should have no discernible biological effect on the brackish species inhabiting this marsh. Also, the differences in species composition between treatment and reference sites of each marsh did not indicate a produced water effect. Thus, at these three produced water discharge sites the dilution of the produced water in the discharge canals, plus the sinking of higher density produced water to canal bottoms (thus making it less available for tidal movement into the marsh), appears to prevent a biologically significant negative impact on the marsh vegetation. Whether this conclusion is valid for other produced water sites needs further evaluation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100982,"journal":{"name":"Oil and Chemical Pollution","volume":"7 4","pages":"Pages 317-335"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0269-8579(05)80047-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88972031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous toxicity assessments are available for freshwater animals only, however, and are misleading because they were reported as nominal measures of the amount of coal tar added to the dilution water. Not all of this coal tar will enter solution, and if the data are corrected to measured concentrations of total organic carbon in solution, the true LC50 values are an order of magnitude less. Even lower values may be obtained by exposing the animals to whole coal tar in addition to the water-soluble fraction (WSF), but the concentration of whole coal tar in water cannot be measured accurately. It is recommended that such toxicity assessments should rely on measured values for WSF alone, and marine test values are reported here for the tiger prawn Penaeus monodon.
