Evidence of hydrocarbon contamination from the Burgan oil field, Kuwait: interpretations from thermal remote sensing data.

Only registered users can translate articles

The paper presents the application of thermal remote sensing for mapping hydrocarbon polluted sites. This has been achieved by mono-window algorithm for land surface temperature (LST) measurements, using multi-date band 6 data of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM). The emissivity, transmittance and mean

Effects of oil pollution at Kuwait's greater Al-Burgan oil field on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations in the tissues of the desert lizard Acanthodactylus scutellatus and their ant prey.

Only registered users can translate articles

Using indicator species to monitor the effects of oil pollution was thought to be useful to assess whether local desert reptiles and their insect prey could fulfill such a role in an area damaged in the second Gulf War (1990). Polluted sites with apparently different degrees of contamination (namely

High-temperature hydrocarbon biodegradation activities in Kuwaiti desert soil samples.

Only registered users can translate articles

Soil samples taken monthly from the Burgan South oil field of Kuwait for one year degraded crude oil, phenanthrene, and hexadecane. Bacteria were better degraders at high-temperature (55 degrees C) than fungi, especially in the drier, hotter months. Depending on the period of sampling, bacteria

Hydrocarbon bioremediation potential of an unimpacted Kuwaiti oil-field environment.

Only registered users can translate articles

Seasonal variations in the hydrocarbon-degrading potential of soil samples from an unimpacted site in the Kuwaiti Burgan oil field environment were studied under mesophilic conditions. Hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms occurred but varied all-year-round, and their numbers ranged from 1.3 x 10(7)

Chemical, physical and antimicrobial properties of essential oils of Leptospermum scoparium and Kunzea ericoides.

Only registered users can translate articles

The major components of commercial New Zealand essential oils of Leptospermum scoparium (manuka) and Kunzea ericoides (kanuka) are identified. In the manuka oil, monoterpenes are present at low levels (< or = 3%). Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons are predominant (> or = 60%) and include groups possessing

Monitoring population abundance of the sand lizard Acanthodactylus scutellatus and their ant prey in oil polluted soils at Kuwait's greater Al-Burgan oil field.

Only registered users can translate articles

Desert ecosystems in Al-Burgan oil fields of Kuwait were contaminated by heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons due to oil spill generated by the Gulf War in 1990. Studying sand lizard (Acanthodactylus scutellatus) population and their ant prey in the years 2002 and 2003 to detect the effects of

N-Alkane uptake and utilisation by Streptomyces strains.

Only registered users can translate articles

Streptomyces strains isolated from the Kuwait Burgan oil field were defined as S. griseoflavus, S. parvus, and S. plicatus utilised n-hexadecane, n-octadecane (purified fractions of mineral oil), kerosene, and crude oil as sole carbon and energy sources. The strains were incubated with n-alkanes and
