Question
Chapter 22.4, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
Petroleum is an organic compound that often acts as a substrate of microbial degradation. It is a rich source of hydrocarbon and therefore, microbes can easily derive energy from its decomposition. This serves as a very important process in case of accidental oil spills that result in water pollution as well as in killing a vast number of marine biodiversity.

a) What range of time and temperature combinations poses the highest risk? How do you say so?
b) Explain briefly why hazards and risks decrease as temperature decreases from 55oC upwards.
c) Discuss briefly why after 100 hours, the risk decreases even if the temperature is optimal for growth of pathogens.
d) Write a conclusion explaining the relationship between time and temperature as illustrated in the 2 figures.
