Oil spill dispersants : a discussion of the chemistry, uses, advantages and disadvantages of oil spill dispersants / [prepared by Duerden & Keane Consultants Inc.]. : En40-233/8-1997E-PDF
"Because of its ubiquitous presence in our society, and the scale of its production and use, oil enters the environment and particularly the marine environment, through a number of routes and from a multitude of sources. These include industrial discharges and urban runoff from the land, natural seeps, atmospheric fallout and offshore exploration and production activities. Oil pollutes the seas as a result of routine tanker and vessel maintenance operations as well, but the most dramatic of all sources, those that capture the attention of the media and the public, are accidents that occur when oil tankers run into trouble, releasing huge amounts of oil into the ocean environment"--Introd.
