Hydrocarbon activities over the years have been one of the main sources of environmental pollution, creating short and long-term impacts. This study aims to analyze the scientific production of the American continent through a bibliographic review of scientific articles published from the 1970s to the present, in order to contrast relevant scientific information about the types of pollution, water, atmospheric, and acoustic, published in the most important scientific repositories in the world, such as Scopus and Web of Science. The Prisma methodology was adopted for its development. From the plethora of articles collected, a sample of 3879 scientific articles was extracted, from which 3322 of them were excluded, leaving 557 records with remarkable information such as: country, year of publication, type of contamination, remediation if applicable, the associated oil & gas sector, and publication registration on the indexed website. It was noted that the countries with the highest scientific production are the United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. Furthermore, the Web of Science, unlike Scopus, contains more indexed publications related to the types of contamination objects relevant to this study. On the other hand, publications focused on water pollution are the only ones that come up with remediations; the rest release a smaller number of publications on these topics.
多年来，碳氢化合物活动一直是环境污染的主要来源之一，造成了短期和长期的影响。本研究旨在通过对 1970 年代至今发表的科学文章进行文献回顾，分析美洲大陆的科学成果，以便对比世界上最重要的科学知识库（如 Scopus 和 Web of Science）中发表的关于污染类型（水、大气和噪声）的相关科学信息。采用 Prisma 方法进行了研究。从收集到的大量文章中，提取了 3879 篇科学文章作为样本，其中 3322 篇被排除在外，留下了 557 条记录，其中包含了有价值的信息，如：国家、出版年份、污染类型、如果适用的补救措施、相关的石油和天然气部门以及在索引网站上的出版物注册情况。值得注意的是，科学成果最高的国家是美国、加拿大、巴西、墨西哥和阿根廷。此外，与 Scopus 不同，Web of Science 包含了更多与本研究相关的污染对象类型的索引出版物。另一方面，专注于水污染的出版物是唯一提出补救措施的出版物；其余出版物在这些主题上的数量较少。
