Ecotoxicological risk assessment related to chemicals and pollutants in off-shore oil production
article
Offshore oil production results in environmental discharges of drill cuttings and produced water, contaminated with residuals of exploration and production (E and P) chemicals and formation chemicals. Ecotoxicological risk assessment has been adopted as a tool in environmental chemical management (i.e. reduction of the use and environmental release of chemicals, use of 'green chemicals' and application of non-chemical alternatives). This paper presents an introduction to the basic principles of ecotoxicological risk assessment of offshore E and P chemicals, as it is elaborated in the internationally harmonised CHARM model. In northwestern Europe, this model is used for the purpose of E and P chemicals, notification and environmental care within the offshore oil industry. Copyright (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
