Article Synopsis
- Produced water (PW) is a major waste product from offshore oil and gas extraction in the North Sea, but existing regulations mainly focus on aliphatic hydrocarbons and overlook other harmful compounds like BTEX and PAHs.
- The study used purge and trap extraction followed by GC-MS analysis on Danish PW samples to identify and quantify volatile compounds, linking this data to toxicity assessments on bacteria, algae, and copepods.
- The results showed that purging volatile compounds reduced toxicity by 37% to 65%, highlighting the need to understand PW composition better for developing effective wastewater management strategies.
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous pollutants of increasing concern in aquatic systems. However, little is still known about the impacts of weathered MPs on plankton at the community level after long-term exposure. In this study, we investigated the effects of weathered MPs on the structure and dynamics of a Baltic Sea planktonic community during ca.
