Abstract
Accidents involving oil spills have a high potential to cause catastrophic environmental impacts. However, the Brazilian legislation and guidelines to plan and determine response actions in case of oil accidents are vague and generally do not include the assessment of toxic effects of oil on the exposed biota and ecosystems. Therefore, such actions are unable to adequately assess the environmental effects of oil in the short, medium and long terms. Ecotoxicological methods consist of cost-effective and robust alternatives to identify and quantify the effects of oil on the exposed ecosystems. Such approaches should be incorporated into response actions in episodes of oil spills in aquatic environments.
期刊介绍：
The Brazilian Journal of Food Technology (BJFT) is an electronic rolling pass publication with free access, whose purpose is to publish unpublished articles based on original research results and technological information that significantly contribute to the dissemination of new knowledge related to production and evaluation of food in the areas of science, technology, food engineering and nutrition (non-clinical). Manuscripts of national or international scope are accepted, presenting new concepts or experimental approaches that are not only repositories of scientific data. The Journal publishes original articles, review articles, scientific notes, case reports, and short communication in Portuguese and English. The submission of a manuscript presupposes that the same paper is not under analysis for publication in any other divulging vehicle. Articles specifically contemplating analytical methodologies will be accepted as long as they are innovative or provide significant improvement to existing methods. It is at the discretion of the Editors, depending on the subject relevance, the acceptance of works with test results of industrialized products without the information necessary to manufacture them. Papers aimed essentially at commercial propaganda will not be accepted.
