Book Description

Publication Date: January 1989 | ISBN-10: 0309038898 | ISBN-13: 978-0309038898

While major oil spills are rare, oil slicks can have disastrous environmental and economic consequences. This book summarizes research on the use of chemical dispersants: their effectiveness and limitations, and the results of using them in different spill situations. Based on laboratory and field research, as well as on actual case histories, this book contains a clear-cut set of recommendations for action, planning, and research. Of special interest is the chapter on the biological effects of oil itself and of oil treated with chemical dispersants.
