The petrochemical industry has received considerable attention from many sectors in our society. Petroleum spill has been frequently reported due to the lack of appropriate protocols during exploration, refining, transportation, and storage. An…
Microorganisms from oil reservoirs are associated with negative impacts on the oilfield, such as oil biodeterioration and biocorrosion of steel structures used for exploration, transportation and storage. The objectives of this study were to analyze…
In shale gas mining areas, indigenous microorganisms degrade organic pollutants such as petroleum hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) through aerobic metabolism. A large quantity of CO2 emissions will exacerbate the “Greenhouse…
Sustainable treatment of petroleum oil sludge still remains as a major challenge to petroleum refineries. Bioremediation is the promising technology involving bacteria for simultaneous production of biosurfactant and followed by degradation of…
Fungal bioremediation is a promising technique for the cleanup of sites contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, due to limited understanding of the composition and dynamics of the native PAH-degrading microorganisms in…
Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) emerged as a major concern for water quality in the last decade and have been studied extensively since. Besides typical natural and synthetic estrogens also petroleum product compounds such as some PAHs have…
To further understand the underlying mechanisms involved in the developmental toxicity of crude oil and chemically dispersed crude oil on fish early-life stages (ELS), zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were exposed to GM-2 chemical dispersant (DISP),…
Petroleum refining is a technology complex, energy- and CO2 emission-intensive industrial process, which is affected by the type and property of the crude oil. China has been the exploitation of crude oil to paraffinic most. This paper targets to…
As typical pollutants, petroleum hydrocarbons that are widely present in various environmental media such as soil, water, sediments, and air, seriously endanger living organisms and human health. In the meantime, as a green environmental technology…

Aflatoxins (AFs) are most important mycotoxins due to their extremely high toxicity, carcinogenic activity, and frequent occurrence in various foods and feedstuffs. AFB1 is well known as one of the most carcinogenic compounds. AF-M group, found in…
