Different Emergency Response Strategies to Oil Spills in Rivers Lead to Divergent Contamination Compositions and Microbial Community Response Characteristics.

ABSTRACT: Oil spills in inland rivers pose a significant threat to the surrounding environment, and the emergency response differs greatly from that in ocean or coastal areas. In this study, we focused on several commonly used emergency water treatment strategies in China's inland oil spills, as well as the spilled washing oil in a serious accident case. We investigated the changes in oil-related chemical components before and after water treatment using GCxGC-TOF MS (Comprehensive Two-dimensional Gas Chromatography Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer). We tracked the shifts of microbial communities in the microcosms incubated with clean river water, simulated oil-contaminated water, and the treatment effluent. The results revealed that typical components, especially nitrogen-containing heterocyclic co
