An examination of pollution caused by crude oils and petroleum products derived from them, this book covers how oil spills are measured and detected, the properties of the oil, and oil’s long-term fate in the environment. Reflecting the rapid progress in cleanup technology since the previous edition, it covers the latest techniques as well as recent spills, including the Gulf of Mexico. Written for the general public as well as those directly involved with spill cleanup, this edition provides broad, up-to-date knowledge of the cleanup and control of oil spills.
