Oil Slick Degradation (Floating Oil Layers)<\/p>\n<\/div>

Oil Pollution on Surface Water: Hazards and Solutions<\/h3><\/div>

Oil pollution in surface waters poses a serious threat to the environment. Oil reduces water quality, impedes oxygen uptake and harms aquatic animals and plants. Without prompt cleanup, oil pollution can spread and cause long-term damage. Effective cleanup methods, such as oil-absorbing materials and biodegradation, help to remove contamination permanently.<\/p>\n

Biodegradation of floating oil layers<\/h5><\/div>

Oil slicks on surface water are the result of a leaking engine from a boat or an oil leaking car parked near the water’s edge, an illegal discharge, or the result of a calamity such as a car accident in which the vehicle hit the water. It is important that this contamination be cleaned up quickly because it spreads easily and attaches itself to the flora and fauna in the water.<\/p>\n
