The establishment of water quality criteria (WQC) for oil pollutants is the basis for ecological risk assessment of marine oil pollution. Ecotoxicity data of oil pollutants to marine organisms in China were collected and toxicity test of oil to nine Chinese marine organisms were performed. Based on the WQC guidelines of the United States, the sea WQC of oil pollutants in China were studied. Then, the ecological risk of oil in 7 sea areas of China was assessed. Results showed that the long-term and short-term criteria of oil pollutants in China are 7.3 μg/L and 36 μg/L, respectively. Except for Qinhuangdao and Xiamen sea areas, the highest oil concentration in the other five sea areas exceeded the long-term WQC by >10 times, and the highest oil concentration in the Pearl River Estuary exceeded the long-term WQC by >100 times, indicating serious ecological risk.
建立水质标准(WQC)对于油污染物是海洋油污染生态风险评估的基础。收集了中国油污染物对海洋生物的生态毒性数据,并进行了 9 种中国海洋生物的油毒性测试。基于美国的 WQC 指南,研究了中国油污染物的海水 WQC。然后,评估了中国 7 个海域的石油生态风险。结果表明,中国油污染物的长期和短期标准分别为 7.3μg/L 和 36μg/L。除了秦皇岛和厦门海域外,其他五个海域的最高油浓度超过长期 WQC 的 >10 倍,珠江口的最高油浓度超过长期 WQC 的 >100 倍,表明存在严重的生态风险。
