Item Efectos ambientales de los hidrocarburos. Una revisión(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Ortiz Díaz, Daniela; Silva Leal, Jorge AntonioThe exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons and their derivatives constitutes today one of the main industrial activities worldwide, in large part to the different properties and importance of hydrocarbons, not only in the global economy, but also in the activities of the daily living of human beings, for being a fundamental element for the development of almost all activities. However, the different techniques of both exploration, exploitation and production of these chemical compounds have very high levels and probabilities of environmental pollution, mainly because the composition of hydrocarbons generates significant effects on all ecosystems. Faced with this problem, the different scientific advances have begun to use bioremediation techniques with the aim of reducing environmental impacts to influence the recovery of affected ecosystems. This bibliographic review article presents a series of theoretical and conceptual considerations about the effects of the exploration and exploitation of oil and its derivatives, focusing on the environmental effects that these activities bring, as well as the existing regulatory framework in Colombia that regulates all the areas related to the extraction of hydrocarbons.Item Efectos ambientales de los hidrocarburos.

They are present in many processes and consumer products. However, these compounds have a high polluting potential if they are spilled or disposed in the environment. This review paper is focused on the bioremediation technique, being the most studied and used for the hydrocarbon removal. Bioremediation is the use of natural organisms that degrade hydrocarbons as an essential part of their metabolism. This method is environmentally friendly since no chemical substances with adverse reactions in the environment are used and no waste are generated. Some of the most used organisms are bacteria, plants and fungi with removal efficiencies of various types of hydrocarbons exceeding 60%. It is worth mentioning that a large part of the reported studies have been carried out on a pilot or laboratory scale. This due to the difficulty of continuous monitoring and recording in real-scale places, such as an ocean or contaminated terrain. Efforts are still required to optimize these strategies and get more and better solutions for the treatment of hydrocarbon-contaminated sites.
