Chemical and toxicological crude oil analysis was performed on water-accommodated fraction of oil (WAF). This study characterized the chemical composition of WAF and its dissipation over a period of 192 h. Acute (96 h) and chronic (14 d) toxicity of WAF were evaluated on Hyalella curvispina from both reference (Los Barreales lake, LB) and hydrocarbon-contaminated (Durán stream, DS) sites. The total hydrocarbon (TPHs) concentration in WAF was 2.18 mg L. The dissipation rates of hydrocarbons in WAF showed a first-order kinetics, with half-lives ranging between 65 h-200 h. Amphipods from LB showed acute and chronic LC50 values of 0.33 and 0.018 mg L, respectively. Amphipods from DS exposed to pure WAF showed no mortality in either acute or chronic assays. Further biochemical and molecular research is required to determine the mechanisms underlying the resistance to WAF exposure on DS amphipods.

The present study investigates the potential interaction between nano‑titanium dioxide (nano-TiO) and the water accommodated fraction (WAF) of crude oil and associated chemicals on bioavailability and biotransformation responses in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). An in vivo (48-h) waterborne exposure with nano-TiO (10 mgL), crude oil WAF (0.068 gL), alone and in combination was performed.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how diesel oil spills affect the green crab Carcinus maenas, focusing on various toxicological impacts including mortality, growth, and behavior related to exposure levels of hydrocarbons.
- - Three bioassays were conducted to assess the crabs’ responses to diesel oil, which showed significant harm such as high mortality rates and malformations affecting their limbs and feeding.
- - Environmental samples revealed varying levels of hydrocarbon contamination between a port and a nature reserve, indicating potential ecological risks that could disrupt crab populations and their role in aquatic ecosystems.
