The limited knowledge on oil–ice interactions and on the ecological outcomes of oil spills in the Arctic represent sources of uncertainties for shipping and oil and gas activities in polar regions. The present work aims at the definition of the ecological risk posed by oil spills in the Arctic by the integration of an improved surface slick model to a fugacity‐based food‐web bioaccumulation model for icy waters. The model's outcomes are the representation of transport and weathering processes and the concentrations of a toxic component of oil, namely naphthalene, in the environmental media as a function of ice conditions. Given those concentrations, the associated ecological risk is defined in terms of the bioconcentration factor (BCF). Overall, the model predicted low bioaccumulation and biomagnification potential for naphthalene to a hypothetical Arctic food web, regardless of the ice concentration.

覆冰水域溢油的生态风险评估：一种表面浮油模型与一个Food-Web生物蓄积模型相结合。

北极地区关于油冰相互作用和溢油的生态后果的知识有限，这代表了极地地区运输和油气活动的不确定性来源。通过将改进的表面浮油模型与基于冰度的水的基于逸度的食物网生物蓄积模型的集成，本工作旨在定义北极漏油造成的生态风险。该模型的结果表示运输和风化过程以及环境介质中油的有毒成分（即萘）的浓度随冰况的变化。在这些浓度下，相关的生态风险是根据生物浓度因子（BCF）定义的。总体，Integr环境评估管理2020； 16：729-744。©2020 SETAC
