Abstract
This volume is a compilation of selected papers which were presented at an International Conference on Oil in Freshwater held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in October 1984. The papers are grouped under five chapters that describe various aspects of petroleum interaction and contamination in freshwater environments. The first chapter deals with the chemistry and fate of hydrocarbons in freshwater environments. Chapter Two discusses oil in runoff and groundwater. In Chapter Three, the biodegradation of hydrocarbons, the fate of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in soil, and the effect of oil dispersants on microbially-mediated processes in freshwater systems are discussed Chapter Four examines the effects of oil and chemical dispersants on freshwater organisms and aquatic communities. In Chapter Five technology for the removal of hydrocarbons from surface and groundwater is covered along with countermeasures, treatment and disposal of hydrocarbons. Separate abstracts are processes for 34 papers for inclusion in the appropriate data bases.
