MT Lajpatrai blow-out studies at Bombay harbour
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1988)
The area around the tanker MT Lajpatrai was monitored for oil pollution studies. Measurements were carried out on the concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons in water and sediment samples along with visual observations on ...
Investigations on oil patches around 'M.T.Lajpatrai' Bombay harbour
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1985)
Samples from three oil patches observed around the burning tanker 'M. T. Lajpatrai' at Bombay Harbour were characterised using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (PMR). Two of them were found to be from used lubricating ...
Pollution of the seas around India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1988)
The state of marine pollution along the 7000 km long coastline and 2.015 x 106km exclusive economic zone of India is summarized. The coastal water receives 4.1 km3 of domestic sewage and 0.41 km3 of industrial wastes. ...
Effects of dispersants on microbial growth and biodegradation of crude oils
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1984)
Four oil spill dispersants when used along (0.1% V/V) or in combination with Saudi Arabian Crude (0.5% V/V) were non-toxic to Arthrobacter simplex and Candida tropicalis. At a higher concentration of 0.6% (V/V) only D2 was ...
Dissolved Petroleum Hydrocarbons in the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Mean dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons, measured using UV-spectrophotometry, at 0 and 10m were 51 plus or minus 1 and 55 plus or minus 1.2 mu g/litre respectively; range of variation being between 28 and 83 mu g/litre. Very ...
Distribution of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Goa Coastal Waters
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Average hydrocarbon concentrations in water, plankton and sediment samples collected from the central west coast of India between 14 degrees 40'N and 15 degrees 50'N were 30.9 mu g/litre, 46.9 mu g/g dry wt and 7.1 degrees ...
Effect of Petroleum Products on Mangrove Seedlings
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
The effect of petrol, diesel and motor oil was studied on the fruits of Rhizophora mucronata and Avicennia officinalis. The former species was found to be more resistant to these petroleum products than the latter, in which ...
