DeBlois, E. M., J. W. Kiceniuk, M. D. Paine, B. W. Kilgour, E. Tracy, R. D. Crowley, U. P. Williams, and G. G. Janes

From the Abstract: “This paper presents results of analyses of body burdens of metals and hydrocarbons, and taste tests for taint, in Iceland scallop and American plaice performed as part of the Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) program for the Te

Gaseous hydrocarbons around an active offshore gas and oil field

Wiesenburg, D. A., J. M. Brooks, and R. A. Burke

Effects of drilling operations on the marine environment

Zingula, R. P.

From the Abstract: “Studies by Exxon scientists and others show that offshore drilling operations are not as harmful to the marine environment as some people have either proposed or feared.

The impact of oily discharges on the meiobenthos of the North Sea

Moore, C. G., D. J. Murison, S. M. Long, and D. J. L. Mills

From the Abstract: “The discharge of drilling cuttings, contaminated with oil-based drilling mud, was found to strongly modify meiofaunal densities within 800 m of the Beryl A Platform.

Concentrations of Hg, Pb, Zn, Cd, and As as in TimbalierBay and the Louisiana oil patch

Montalvo, J. G. Jr. and D. V. Brady

From the Conclusions: “Utilizing the criteria set forth by the Academy and the data reported here, we do not predict a risk of chronic biological effects due to the metals zinc, lead, or cadmium originating from oil production platforms.”
