Marine environments are frequently exposed to oil spills as a result of transportation, oil drilling or fuel usage. Whereas large oil spills and their effects have been widely documented, more common and recurrent small spills typically escape attention. To fill this important gap in the assessment...
Ecotoxicological effects of (larger) oil spills have also been described in great detail, but as a consequence of the accidental nature of spills and the typical delay in detection, their early impacts are poorly documented. Dissolved and dispersed hydrocarbon concentrations in the seawater to which...
Footage from those rescued from collapsed buildings, unimaginable loss, children caught in a tornado of violence, every film is immersive and visceral. The bravery and passion of the filmmakers are on full display. The viewing experience is heavy, inspiring, and vital, particularly for those who ...
Deep water oil drilling must continue for some time, but we have not seen the end of accidental oil spills and we have no really clever ways to deal with accidental spills when they happen. Furthermore, we must stop importing our energy from unfriendly nations, and stop paying subsidies to...
The authors investigate and compare the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill disaster with the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster to determine whether oil spill prevention and oil spill risk management have advanced over time. The study recounts facts, analyzes features of both incidents, and ...
Another concern arising from the ready-mix concrete operations which may affect the soil and ground water quality is the spills or leaks that may occur from the storage containers used for diesel, motor oil, and chemical admixture. In 2013, the average production rate of concrete is more than...
