The acute toxicity to P. quadridentatus, of Kuwait light crude oil, BP/AR dispersant and an oil-dispersant mixture was determined. Observed 96-h LC50 values averaged 1555 mg 1-1 for oil added to water. A statistically valid 96-h LC50 value for the dispersant was not obtained, but results indicated that a solution containing between 1300 and 2200 mg I-1 might be expected to produce 50% mortality. A mixture of oil and dispersant in the ratio 4 : 1 gave an observed 96-h LC50 value of 96 mg 1-1, a 16-fold increase in toxicity over oil alone. The implications of the results are discussed.

Iodometric determination of dissolved oxygen is used as experimental methods, through the determination of oxygen consumption of crude oil, gasoline , diesel , three different types of oil, oxygen consumption of Philippines clams and oxygen consumption of Philippines clams under the conditions of three oil pollution, variations of DO under the conditions of three oil pollution is researched. The results show that oxygen consumption of gasoline> oxygen consumption of diesel oil> oxygen consumption of crude oil. At the same time, oxygen consumption of gasoline changes with time by a big margin, diesel oil comes second, oxygen consumption of crude oil changed slightly with time.
