The coastal areas
TemperatureSalinity
The solubility of toxic hydrocarbons from the crude oil.The effectiveness of chemical dispersants.The binding characteristics of residual oil fractions onto
suspended particles.
The accumulation of hydrocarbons by aquatic organisms could also be affected by their osmoregulatory adaptations.

PAH(多環碳氫化合物 )
Rank among the most toxic component
of crude oil.
More soluble than alkanes that comprise an equal number of carbon atom.

PAH Solubility
NaCl concentration 3.5% 20%
Solubility of toluene 70% 16%
The solubility of toluene in different salinity (McAuliffe 1987)
The low salinity coastal water or estuaries and would
have a greater adverse impact on aquatic organisms.
The mean reduction in solubility for 12 aromatic hydrocarbons (Sutton and Calder 1975)
Fresh water
Seawater 68±4.4%

Salinity may modify the performance of chemical dispersants
Much of the work on dispersant effectiveness has tested marine conditions (32–34 salinity), with few freshwater tests.
Dispersants would not be used in shallow waters where dispersion would be limited.
Most dispersants are formulated to work within a narrow range of water salinities, close to that of seawater.
8
Fish can accumulate soluble petroleum hydrocabons very rapidly. (Collier et al. 1995)
Gills are primary route of hydrocarbon uptake and excretion, usually by diffusion. (Thomas and Rice 1982)
The lighter PAHsVolatilize and
solubilize easier
The heavier and more toxic PAHs
Less soluble
If use dispersants ,the hydrophobic nature of the more toxic fractions enables them to partition directly from crude oil to lipid-rich tissues coming into contact with oil droplets.

ObjectiveThis research was to measure changes in exposure of fish to PAH when MESA crude oil was dispersed at a range of salinities.
Exposure was estimated by measuring the induction of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP1A) activity, an indicator of PAH uptake.

Materials and
methods
11
Crude oil and dispersant
Crude oil :MESA sour crude Dispersant : Corexit 9500
MESA sour crude is insoluble in water and
non-volatile when dispersed.
Corexit 9500 is meant to be used on higher
viscosity oils and emulsions.
12
Test fishes
Juvenile (8–10 weeks) rainbow trout: was chosen to enable comparisons
with freshwater data (0–15‰).
Mummichogs were chosen for exposure bioassays at 15‰ and 30‰ salinity.
13
Preparation of WAFThe crude oil was weathered by
sparging with air for 130h.
A 1:9 mixture of oil and water
0 ‰ 15 ‰ 30 ‰
Mixture for 18h and settled for 1h
The WAF layer was separated from surface oil to use as exposure solution
14
Preparation of CEWAF A 1:9 mixture of oil and water
15 ‰ 30 ‰0 ‰
Mixture for 18h of stirring
Corexit at a ratio of 1:20 of the oil was added with a further 1 h of stirring and then settled for 1 h.
The CEWAF emulsion layer was separated from surface oil to use as exposure solution.

Exposure tests

A series of CEWAF concentrations
five fish
After 48h
fish were anaesthetized with100 mg/L of MS-222.
fish were killed by severing the spinal cord.
Their livers wereremoved, weighed.
16
A model CYP1A inducer, b-naphthoflavone (BNF,10 μg/L), served as a positive control.
0 ‰ 15 ‰ 30 ‰
livers
microcentrifuge tubes Centrifuges
The supernatant (S9 fraction) was removed
frozen in liquid nitrogen,and stored at -80 ℃.
17
EROD assay
In liver
CYP1A (EROD) activity was expressed as pmol of resorufin produced per
min per mg protein in the S9 fraction.

Statistical analysis
Analyses of variance (ANOVA) were calculated from EROD activity values which had been log transformed to achieve normal distribution.
A one-way ANOVA with treatment as a factor was applied to detect differences among treatments (control, WAF and CEWAF).
Median effect concentrations (EC50) for the WAF and CEWAF exposures of each oil were calculated from induction curves using Graph Pad–Prism fitting a linear regression.

Discussion

Decreased exposure with increasing salinityThese experiments corroborate earlier work on increased exposure to PAH with chemical dispersion of crude oil (Ramachandran et al., 2004).

28
Dispersant effect did not seem to change between salinities
of 0‰ and 15‰.
The dispersant was less effective at high salinities.
Interactions between PAH and particulates might also be affected by salinity.
Fish were not fed for 48 hprior to testing.

Salinity effects on PAH uptake by fish is that salinity controls PAH solubility and bioavailability.

Osmoregulation in test fish
Hypo-osmotic environment
Fish are subjected to diffusion of water from the surroundingmedium into the gill, as is the case with freshwater fish.
Hypo-osmotic environment iso-osmotic conditions
This process slows until iso-osmotic conditions.
In this study, responses of fish to PAH did not change between 0‰ and 15‰ salinity.
32
15‰ 30‰
Reduced PAH uptake from CEWAF by mummichogs.
EROD activity in mummichog exposed to BNF
was reduced by one half
The reduction in PAH uptake at higher salinities might be due
to water and PAH efflux in response to osmotic gradients.

Conclusion
34
Oil spills
Low salinityFull salinity
PAH will be up to 60-fold
Use of dispersants 10 times 250 times
The increased solubility of PAH at lower salinities, especially the lower molecular weight two- and three-ringed homologs.
This solubility effect is enhanced by the apparent increased effectiveness of chemical dispersion at low salinities.
The potential risks to aquatic life of PAH toxicity following oil spills are enhanced in lower salinity waters such as estuaries and near coastalzones.
