| Abstract |
The fate and effects of a spill of six to eight million gallons of waste crankcase oil rerefined sludge into the Schuylkill River, Pa., in June of 1972 have been studied. The spilled oil contained high concentrations of heavy metals and aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. The spill occurred during a flood, and riverbank trees were coated with oil. Levels of lead were higher in downstream trees; however, no direct permanent effects were noted. Levels of heavy metals in river waters remained below those set by the U.S. Public Health Service for drinking water supplies; however, higher concentrations of lead and zinc were observed downstream. Levels of lead in sediments were higher downstream. Concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons in sediments were higher at downstream stations. Concentrations of lead in downstream benthic macrofauna were higher. |
