The risk of surface water contamination by oil products
2013
The aim of this paper is to assess the surface water contamination by oil
substances in forest. The usage of forest mechanisms for felling, loading,
and wood transportation belong to the activities which affect small but
long-term natural environment contamination caused by mineral oil substances.
These substances impact negatively on all components of the forest ecosystem.
The oil substances were determined as non-polar extractable substances (NES)
by spectrophotometric method in infrared spectrum. The progress of NES
concentrations and harvest intensity in all sampled locations shows evident
connection with harvest intensity and season of the year. We tested
biodegradability of selected petroleum products for better understanding the
interaction of hydrocarbons in forest ecosystem.
